UCD is all about improving West Philly/University City in every way possible. But while we’re at it, why not improve the city, the country, or the whole world? Environmental sustainability is a hot topic, and for good reason – it’s not only good (nay, necessary) for the planet, but it’s good for your pocket book as well. To that end, UCD is offering two free sustainability workshops, the first part of a series, that are open to West Philly residents and businesses.

The area is already home to numerous environment-boosting organizations, like UC Green, which goes around the neighborhood planting trees, and PRooF, the Philadelphia Rooftop Farm. In addition to painting the town green, though, why not cut down on your energy usage? These workshops will teach you how, with a special emphasis on problems and techniques that are especially relevant to the area. Learn how to caulk cracks, weather-strip, V-seal, and switch to the most efficient bulbs. You’ll also learn the nitty-gritty about your energy bill, PECO, and special money-saving rebates and tax credits.

The first workshop (on March 16th) is geared toward the owners of commercial properties, and the second (on March 23rd) is for residents. Do your part to reduce energy usage and make University City an even more environmentally friendly neighborhood. Your bank account – and the planet – will thank you! RSVP today to make sure to reserve a spot.
