Live Recycled Art Demonstration
Friday June 11 - Saturday June 12, 10 am - 5 pm both days at La Grange Village Hall.
Brought to you by Vulcan Materials. Watch a sculpture be created by artist Jason Mack using recycled glass from our very own community. Starting on Earth Day, recycling bins will be distributed near Village Hall where the community can donate their old glass. Then, on June 11, the artists will create a colorful sculpture entirely from the recycled glass. What was once a waste will become a masterpiece. Walk to town and bring glass from your recycle bin!
Green Opportunity Program: Life Cycle Approach
Tuesday, June 15, 7:00-8:30 pm at the La Grange Public Library.
Behind every product you purchase, there exists a life cycle. The life cycle begins with raw materials and energy needed to manufacture, transport and use the product, and later to recycle, reuse, or dispose of the product. A life cycle approach means we recognize how our choices influence what happens at each of these points so we can balance trade-offs and positively impact the economy, the environment, and society. La Grange architect Cheryl Ciecko will discuss the Life Cycle Assessment of products, Green Building Rating Systems (LEED and others) and issues regarding wood and forestry.
