It's Hip To Be Green

Think Green...
We all know it is important, but do you know how easy it is to make a difference? All you need is
a little good advice. This event will discuss simple and low cost ways to get your life on a
green-friendly track.
Being “green” is more then a fashion trend or a marketing campaign. It’s the way our world is
changing - physically, culturally, politically, economically… Whether you are on-board or on the
fence, there are things we can do every day to lead a responsible lifestyle and influence our
community of friends, family and colleagues.
Our generous host, CarMax, will offer the unique opportunity to tour their award-winning corporate headquarters. This environmentally-friendly facility was
recently awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Read the press
