On January 31, 2015, environmental leaders from the Washington, DC area will gather at Maret School to teach children, teens, and adults how to become environmental leaders. This gathering – an Energy Fair – will take place in the Old Gym from 10AM to 12:30PM. The purpose of the Energy Fair is to motivate school-age children and adults to protect our environment through conservation and sustainable practices, efficient and alternative uses of energy, and eco-friendly practices, products, and services. The Energy Fair is free and open to the public. There will be more than 20 exhibitors, hands-on activities for kids, a solar oven activity, a home energy workshop, free prizes every half hour, and the opportunity to win a free home-energy audit. Free parking is available. If you attend, you will learn about:
- Solar energy options
- Organic gardening
- Using rain barrels for storm water and energy conservation
- Home energy audits
- Green architecture and design
- Home weatherization and reduction in energy consumption and cost
- Conscious low-carbon cooking
- Container gardening
- How to keep food warm without electricity

- And more!
Information about environmental career opportunities will be available as well as environmental education materials. Please come join us. Walk-ins are welcome, but the courtesy of your reservation would be appreciated at GirlScoutEnergyFair@gmail.com.
