Preservation at Greentopia | ECOFEST
The Greentopia fest is back this year as Greentopia | ECOFEST. What could be more green than recycling existing buildings, preserving public parks, and revitalizing historic, walkable communities? Preservation is truly the original green. You can learn more about the intersections of preservation, sustainability, and community at many Greentopia events this year. The Landmark Society’s Executive Director, Wayne Goodman, will be partnering with Katie Comeau from Bero Architecture and architect Paul Minor to present a talk on Saturday, September 16. As part of Greentopia | FILM, you can also see the documentary, Detropia, the story of a Motor City run out of gas (running tonight and tomorrow night at The Little). Take a look at our Greentopia post for more information about these events. Or visit the official Greentopia website for a complete rundown of events.
