Don't forget that November 7 and 8 is the Green Living & Energy Expo in Roanoke … loads of exhibitors, presentations and more on topics like new ways to heat and cool your home, limiting your use of fossil fuels, and more.

It's a big deal to have an event like this in Roanoke – shows us that the two valleys (Roanoke and New River Valley) are continuing to get more serious about making sure we're good stewards of the tremendous resources we have here.  And it's gaining attention elsewhere – check out some of these other great alternative energy links, courtesy of Carnival of the Green and Jim Duncan.
