Learn How to 'Build Green'

ARTEMIS Environmental hosts Wilkinsburg workshop.

Green building is an often over-used and not entirely understood term. For the February workshop at the Landmarks Housing Resource Center in Wilkinsburg, Ian Miller, managing partner of Artemis Environmental in Lawrenceville, will discuss elements of green building and design.

He will also talk about Artemis Environmental’s wide range of products, which include everything from boards made of sustainable materials such as bamboo and sunflower seeds to toxic-free finishers and recycled tiles. Mr. Miller’s show-and-tell of sustainable building products will include a demonstration of American Clay plaster and cork flooring.

Date: Sat., Feb. 18
Time: 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Location: Landmarks Housing Resource Center
744 Rebecca Ave, Wilkinsburg, PA 15221
