In 1970, Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson created the first “Earth Day” as a day of awareness featuring rallies for the environment across the country. This year, on the forty-first celebration of this international celebration, why not take the time to see what you can do in your home life to help realize Nelson’s vision of a greener, healthier planet?

Join us on Sunday, April 4 or Sunday April 18 from 2:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. for an Eco-Home tour to gain the knowledge you need to turn your home into an earth-friendly Eco-Home. In addition to some practical tips that can be done quickly around the house, you’ll have a chance to visit our organic food garden and our xeriscaped, drought resistant front yard.

The Eco-Home tour is an experiential introduction to sustainable urban living. Participants will pick up ideas for home weatherization, water and energy conservation, solar energy and non-toxic cleaning products that will help them make their homes greener, healthier and more cost effective.

The tour is conducted by Eco-Home Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on making lifestyle choices that protect the environment and improve quality of life. Eco-Home is located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Call 323-662-5207 for reservation and directions. Requested donation for the tour is $10 per person. Please make your reservations by the Friday before the tour.
