More info: For directions to the FRCA meeting, please visit the FRCA Meetings page.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about this new nonprofit. The mission of GRCA is enlighten and educate the public, industry professionals, and policymakers about design, construction, and maintenance practices for environmentally sustainable living--inspiring them to take action. GRCA aims to spark dialogue and offer resources to the people of Alabama so that we may find sensible solutions for healthy and productive lives.
The new GRCA building is in a soon to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified building in downtown Homewood, AL. The building itself is a place where the community can encounter sensible green solutions such as a vegetative rooftop garden, demin insulation, reclaimed barn wood floors, solar panels, and a water cistern for irrigation. The GRCA is a place for research and connections between seekers and solutions.
Please join us as we explore and learn about the many new (and old) ways to go green in Alabama... and looks for updates on their website at:
