Earth Day Open House - 1 Million Acts of Green

The green-built home at 250 N. Myrtle Avenue will host an educational open house called "100 Acts of Green" on Sunday, April 18th from 2-4 pm. The public is invited to visit six stations around the home staffed by local green experts. The stations will educate residents on ten Green Acts from the campaign's website. Mini-presentations will highlight a Green Act so visitors can see how it might fit in their own home. The stations will include advice on water-saving plumbing and appliances, recycling in Elmhurst, energy efficient lighting, insulation and more. A self-guided tour will showcase ten other Green Acts installed within the home.

Residents will be able to log onto the One Million Acts of Green website on the way out to record planned or completed Green Acts. Visitors who bring a cell phone or empty Altoids tin to recycle will receive supplies to complete the Green Act of insulating electrical outlets.

100 Acts of Green is sponsored by LW Reedy Real Estate and LINDAM Property Group. The home is listed for sale for $788,500. To show support for Earth Day, LINDAM Property is offering promotional pricing. The home is discounted $40,000 until April 22nd in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
