BACKGROUND:
Most of us don’t
think about energy. We pay monthly utility and fuel bills and that’s
it. Would you like to develop a new relationship with the
environment that lets you consume energy without dumping today’s
pollution on tomorrow’s children? Perhaps you would like to learn
how to save a few dollars from your energy budget.
If this is you, then
come to SMART ENERGY FAIR 2004.
Informative, enjoyable, and easy to understand -
SMART ENERGY FAIR 2004 aims to provide practical information
to homeowners and the public at large on energy efficiency and renewable
energy.
SMART
ENERGY FAIR 2004
