The Green & Healthy Maine Home and Energy Show is Saturday, October 19! It's going to be an exciting day with top-notch exhibitors, a fantastic slate of workshops, local food trucks, and more! Plus, 100% of ticket sales go to support Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland!

 

This show connects leaders in Maine's sustainable home and energy industries with homeowners looking for products and services. From solar power to heat pumps, air quality to air sealing, and electric vehicles to edible landscapes, you'll find endless inspiration for a healthy home.

Come with a specific question about your home or energy project, attend a workshop and browse the booths to find inspiration and resources. Chat with experts, find new products, learn about incentive programs and take advantage of show discounts and deals from our exhibitors.     

 

Betty had been donating to Habitat International for years when she decided to start volunteering locally about eight years ago. She has been a member of the Wednesday Group ever since.

 

The idea of "home" is very important in her life, so she loves being part of an organization that makes it possible for people to have a home of their own.  She says, "In meeting, working alongside, and talking with Habitat families, it's obvious that Habitat's model works!" She's also made some great friends with a shared sense of purpose and lots of fun. As a bonus, she has learned a lot from the Habitat's construction team Chad and Ryan.

 

Betty's career was spent in non-profits working with children and adults with disabilities. She worked in a variety of capacities: from teaching young children, to program planning, and administrative positions.  Her father was a pharmacist, who was also a very skilled carpenter. She was his sidekick whenever there was a building project at home. She says he'd be glad she's still at it!
