Plain Green 10 Conference and Marketplace
April 28 and 29, 2010 | Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science, Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Plain Green, a collaboration between the Sioux Falls Green Project, Koch Hazard Architects, and South Dakota State University, is a green conference and marketplace geared towards advancing sustainability on the Northern Plains.  Take action in 2010 by connecting with other attendees, world renowned keynotes, and green exhibitors.  Learn about conservation design planning, green healthcare, eco-affordable housing, green office makeovers, LEED, straw bale construction, EPA compliance, permaculture, and more through two days of workshops and breakout sessions.

Chartreuse will be organizing the funding, material, and general construction efforts of a community service project, the Summit House Straw Bale Tool Shed, built in conjunction with the conference.  We will be working with the new Sioux Falls Chapter of Architecture for Humanity who will be responsible for the design and drawings for the straw bale structure.  Construction will be April 27 and 28 and will be facilitated by a straw bale expert.  To learn about straw bale construction (and to do something good for our community), reserve your spot on the community service project team.  Sign up at plaingreen.org.  Registration is only open to Plain Green attendees.
