Clean Air Cool Planet to develop their 2010 Honor Your Home project.

To take part in this initiative, you must be a resident of Rye and commit to taking three or more actions to lessen your carbon footprint. Once committed, participants will be “honored” by having an artist paint a picture of their home.

The artwork will be on exhibit at the Center from November 12-December 16. Proceeds from the sale of the artwork support the Rye Energy Committee, the Seacoast Science Center and local artists.

Learn about several actions that you can take to lower your carbon footprint by attending the “Green Saturday Morning Programs” at the Seacoast Science Center, May 1, June 5, July 10, August 7, and September 11.  This is free for all Rye residents.  All area residents are welcome to learn more about increasing your energy efficiency.
