Greening and your home at July 1 EVA meeting

By John Scheer 

Some remodeling products can save you big bucks in the first year of installation by reducing your energy consumption or providing you with a method to monitor what personal behaviors are using the most energy.

Others are healthy alternatives for products that are part of your everyday life.

Both types of "green" commodities will be explained July 1 in the general membership meeting of the East Village Association.

Giving details is guest Theresa Minarik-Okuley, the marketing manager for Greenmaker Supply, 2500 N. Pulaski Rd. Greenmaker opened for business in September 2005 and was founded by Ori J. Sivan and Joe Silver.

East Village residents are perpetually updating or repairing something in their homes. Minarik-Okuley will share selected items from the vast inventory of green products.

Please join her at 7 p.m. at the Happy Village Tavern, 1059 N. Wolcott, to learn more about options to improve your family’s home, and continue to support green-community efforts.
