To the Editor:

The Princeton Environmental Commission (PEC), in partnership with Sustainable Princeton (SP), has been busy as bees (pun intended) in preparing for the Green House Tour (GHT) on Saturday, September 30. This event will provide the community with the opportunity to observe what their neighbors (GHT hosts) have done to support the environment through energy efficiency, native vegetation, and various other green property improvement methods.

On the day of the event, four short videos featuring some of the properties will be shown at the Princeton Public Library (PPL) prior to the tours. The films were created by student videographer Devan Sakaria, who put in countless hours, under the direction of Seth Mellman. Whether simply viewing the films or taking a tour, GHT participants can expect positive inspiration in how they may adapt to creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes and environments with green building practices, such as solar panels, rain gardens, and more.

As a result of everyone’s significant contributions and efforts, PEC would like to extend a sincere appreciation to the GHT hosts, filmmakers, SP, and PPL, and look forward to a successful community event. For more information, please visit princetongreenhousetour.com.
