Alternative Energy –
         Is it a future dream or real possibility?

Mike Link, Audubon Center of the North Woods in Sandstone,  and Michael Krause, Green Institute in Minneapolis, will
describe their combined efforts to utilize alternative energy at their two facilities and talk about what is available to
the private homeowner. Mike Link will discuss what we learn from nature and how the Audubon Center is striving for a lighter
footprint.  Michael Krause will explain how the Green Institute is making alternative energy work in a low-income area of
South Minneapolis and what it means to all urban dwellers.  There will be time for questions and answers.
