Santa Monica Public Library presents the Green Living Workshop, starting Wednesday, October 3, 2007 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., in the Main Library’s second floor multipurpose room, 601 Santa Monica Boulevard.

A six-week series, the Green Living Workshop is offered by Sustainable Works.  The series provides the latest "eco-info," and offers advice on saving up to $200 a year on utility costs and cutting your landfill waste by up to 50%.  The workshop meets each Wednesday, through November 7, and each session focuses on a different topic: water, energy, waste, chemicals, transportation and travel, and shopping and food.  Participants receive free resource saving tools such as water saving shower heads, energy saving light bulbs, and reusable shopping bags.  Additional workshops will follow in 2008; start dates are January 16, March 5, April 23, and June 11.

This program is free and open to the public.  Sign-up now; class space is limited.  To register, e-mail Barent Roth at Sustainable Works, or call (310) 458-8716, Ext.1.  For more information, contact the Santa Monica Public Library at (310) 458-8600; or visit the Library’s web site at www.smpl.org.
