Greenovations... Green Today, Here Tomorrow

Event Date: 
October 15, 2011 - 10:00am to 5:00pm
$5 Admission for Everyone All Day

Get ready, get set, recycle! Join us in a building wide celebration, highlighting renewable resources, recycling, green living, energy efficiency, and wildlife/habitat conservation – all designed to make us more aware of our impact on the world around us.

Venture through a variety of exhibits, attend seminars and workshops, view films, and much, much more. Today’s society is focused ever-more on the fast-developing world of clean, renewable energy and energy efficient technologies as our planet’s resources are progressively diminishing. This event will help you figure out your place in that movement.

Here’s just a partial list of what you can do at this year’s event:

  • Take a Segway test rides with Segways of Central Florida
  • Tour a modular home brought to you by World Housing Solution
  • Meet reptiles courtesy of Seminole County Natural Lands
  • Take part in hands-on activities with Orange County Waste Wise
  • Find out about the City of Orlando’s newest super hero, Grease Fighter as he highlights recycling cooking oil programs and storm drain pollution prevention
  • Listen to performances by The Garbage Men who will be performing instruments made from found materials
  • Attend seminars presented by OUC: The Reliable One

Who says that saving the earth can’t be fun?!  At Greenovations, you’ll learn all you need to make a difference by exploring environmental consciousness in a unique, entertaining way!

 

The Chevy Volt will be on display at Greenovations thanks to Carl Black Chevrolet Buick GMC.  Make sure you take it for a test drive.  Here's a quick video describing the car.
