Join the Middleton Public Library and the city’s Sustainability Committee for a ongoing series to help Middleton residents learn about living sustainably — why it matters, what our city is doing, and how you can help.
This webinar will feature short talks on how to make your home and commute more sustainable. We’ll explore some ways to “green” your routine and discuss why going electric may be more attainable than you think.
