Bid on an environmentally-friendly playhouse at the Home Improvement Show

What is an Environ-mini?
An Environ-mini is a playhouse for children designed and built with “green” or environmentally friendly techniques, products and features.

Why Build an Environ-mini?
This event is presented by the Green Building Council of Greater Columbia and is intended to be a teaching tool that shows how green building features are easily incorporated into a home. There is a misconception that going green requires non-traditional building materials and that they cost too much to implement in a regular home. In reality, going green is not very difficult or expensive, and uses many of the same building materials that your current home was built from. The difference is mainly in how the materials are used and in what way they are put together. Seeing these techniques on the Environ-mini will be an eye-opener for many.

An Event for Charity
In addition to being a teaching tool, we are also holding a silent auction for the Environ-mini and one lucky family will take this environmentally-friendly playhouse home with them after the show*. Proceeds from this auction will go to the Lymphoma & Leukemia Society, SC Chapter.

See the Environ-minis and bid in the silent auction THIS WEEKEND at this webpage. Bidding ends Sunday, Sept. 26 at 5 p.m.
