I'm a what?


So, we went to the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair this weekend. http://www.the-mrea.org/energy_fair.php (check it out!). I was commenting to Jason that we would get to meet some real tree huggers there. Well come to find out, as my husband has informed me, I am a tree hugger. I knew I was green, but had not yet embraced the official status of "tree hugger." After pondering Jase's comment further I have decided he might be right. I mean we did go on a date to the MREA, and I was excited to learn about solatubes, flexible PV film, integrated PV building materials, net-zero homes, and the list goes on. Seriously, the coolest thing was that there were no plastic water bottles - just places to fill up the reusable one you brought. They also had composting pails, recycling bins, and garbage containers. Yep, I guess I really am a tree hugger. Here's hoping there are many more out there!
