Monthly Pot-Luck and Dialogue
Join us on Sunday May 4, 2008 at 6:30 for a presentation by Morgan Tipton and staff of the William Penn House on the "greening" of our house.
Over the past few years, the staff of William
Penn House have been committed to transition William Penn House to be as green
as a 90 year old building can be. We have installed ceiling fans, highly
efficient heat pumps, highly efficient boiler/water heater, thermal windows,
recycling, composting and now we are moving to the next level. We use Fair
Trade Coffee, shop locally and reuse whatever we can.
Morgan Tipton, an intern from Ohio is committed to reducing our footprint. Through research she has revolutionized
our cleaning supplies where they are no longer toxic, no longer have strong
odors, are earth friendly, are inexpensive and the House has never been
cleaner. Morgan will not only describe her research and her choices but will
have a hands on demonstration of how the cleaning solutions are mixed.
Patricia Newkirk, WPH inspirational guru will share her vision of creating a rain garden in the back yard and installing a vegetated roof on part of the property.
