1) Green Materials in Historic Renovations
Presented by Paul Marquis of the Green Roundtable
Time: 11:15 am – 12:15 pm
“Everyone seems to be interested in green building these days, but homeowners and builders in communities like Salem, with an important historical legacy to protect, have some unique constraints in implementing green building strategies. Viewed simultaneously through the lenses of both what makes a building material sustainable AND what is historically appropriate, this workshop will examine the selection process for materials used in home building and remodeling projects. Practical considerations like zoning restrictions and working with city officials will be discussed in brief.”

Presented by Revitalive Health & Wellness
Time: 12:30 – 1:30 pm
Join us for a lecture on the power of greens in a raw and living foods diet and how eating green can heal the planet.
