Green Living for $15
Save some green, living green! If you are planning to live green in 2013, then you will want to get in on the next Eco Family Virtual Conference session for only $15! Folks told us they wanted to attend single sessions but did not have time for the whole series. NOW, you, TOO, can get in on one . . . or more sessions of the Eco Family Virtual Conference. Here’s the line-up for the rest of the year:
Eco Family Virtual Conference Sessions will be held the first Thursday of each month from 6:30-8:00pm:
• January 3- Water (watch the archived session after you register!)
• February 7- Living Green
• March 7- Energy
• April 4- Stuff
• May 2- Food
• June 6- Neighbors
Do the math, if you want all 6 sessions, it is actually less than $12 month. (if you miss a session, you still get the monthly archived on-line gathering and access to all the materials!) Pick what fits YOUR family’s schedule!
Get all 6 monthly topics for $70 or choose one for $15. Register now!
