* Scavenger hunt to find highlights of Greenfield’s energy conservation improvements

* Next Steps for Greenfield to become a sustainable, resilient community – what do we need that don’t have (shoe repair, seed bank, communication system, vision for town as learning community, weatherization teams for low-income home owners and renters, etc)
