Casa Verde Partners David Kadlec (also a HEC board member) and Michael Sanders are presenting a 7 part workshop series on Green Living at Home at the Indy Annex, starting on May 15th.   CasaVerde is a green development company and recipient of the 2007 HEC Green Business of the Year award.   The workshop will use the Global Action Plan`s Household Eco Team workbook to do an in-depth analysis of the metrics and action steps for a sustainable household. It is an enlightening and fun way to make a huge difference in the world, starting right at home.  All proceeds will go to support the Beyond Your Best workshop series, and the educational programming for sustainable living presented by CasaVerde.   For more information about the workshop and registration details, click here.
