The Water – Use It Wisely Regional Partners are excited to be exhibiting at the Southwest Build-It Green Expo & Conference, March 18, 19 and 20 at Phoenix Convention Center. Whether you’re a savvy homeowner looking to create a more sustainable home, or a business owner looking to create a greener space for employees — the Expo & Conference has something for everyone. The expo showcases sustainable products and services impacting every area of life. Those attending the conference will hear from prominent industry voices on both a local and national level, who will share their insight and knowledge of an environmental-friendly future. Topics covered will include green awareness, solar power, water efficiency, sustainability, LEED Certification, and existing building retrofits.
Connie Speelman-Harris from Queen Creek who is one of the newest Water – Use It Wisely regional campaign partners, is excited about participating in the Expo. “It just makes sense,” Speelman-Harris commented, “water conservation can save water, energy, and greenhouse gas emissions.”
Be sure to visit the Water – Use It Wisely booth as it will feature how to save water outdoors where it has been found that up to 70% of water is used. Even more exciting, partners at the booth will be offering tickets for a prize drawing for items that help save water. An irrigation controller that programs itself will be offered ($300 value) as well as a WaterBroom ($200 value) and more. In fact, these same items and others are featured on the Water – Use It Wisely water-saving products page.
The conference sessions are free, though registration is required, and free admission passes can be downloaded from the Build-It-Green website. To register, and for more information, go to www.builditgreenexpo.com.
