The Baltimore Neighborhood Energy Challenge (BNEC) will host its first annual Mount Washington Eco-Fair on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Mount Washington Elementary School.

A joint program between the Baltimore Office of Sustainability and the Baltimore Community Foundation, BNEC is working with residents in eight Baltimore neighborhoods to “spread knowledge, resources, and motivation to help our communities save energy and money.”

The Eco-Fair will provide an opportunity for residents to sign up for energy-saving services for their homes while also learning about new technology, products, and services that help reduce home energy use. The event will also feature local energy service contractors, urban garden specialists, solar and geothermal energy providers, florists, handmade crafts, eco-friendly products, and local acupuncturists.

Visit the BNEC web site for more information or simply show up on Saturday – this event is free and open to the public.
