For more information, call Chris Veirs, Senior planner/Sustainability Coordinator at (909) 399-5486.
In addition to Sunday's events, on Saturday there's a free tour of what the city's Earth Week flyer says is a newly-rebuilt sustainable home at 4326 Via Padova near the Padua Theatre. The house, replacing one that burned in the 2003 Padua/Grand Prix Fire, was featured in a Los Angeles Times article a few years ago.
The home tour goes from 1pm to 4pm tomorrow, April 25.
