YPAL’s Weekly Update a Resource for Green Initiative

So YPAL’s LEED Certified Habitat for Humanity house is quickly nearing completion with just over a month left on construction. After many months of tireless efforts on the part of YPAL’s Green Team members, volunteers and sponsors, the keys to the house will soon be handed over to the welcoming hands of Wendy, the homeowner. However, as this house nears completion and YPAL’s Green Initiative seeks a close, our green efforts and eco-friendly focus should not wane. Hopefully YPAL’s Green Initiative sparked an interest not only among organization members but within the community who witnessed this feat take shape. While we all may not be able to afford to “green” our houses, there are simple things we can do every day that will make a noteworthy impact. Each week, YPAL provides green tips in our Weekly Update thanks to Net Impact Solutions. Additionally, we try to provide a listing of green events and volunteer opportunities in this section. Make time each week to scroll to the bottom of the Weekly Update to see the latest tip and ways you can get involved with the green movement at the local level. No amount of effort is too small in this ongoing green movement.
