Choices in Sustainable Living – A Friends of Tifft Event

This interactive program will delve deeply into how each of us
can reduce our own “carbon footprint” which adds to the

can start to take steps to move towards a more Earth friendly
lifestyle. We will have fun learning with hands-on activities.
Take away material will also be provided. $5 per person
(Teens and Adults only). Space is limited and registration is
required. Please call 825-6397 to register.
