If you’re looking for something fun, different and environmentally minded this weekend in Iowa, perhaps Dig IN: the Decorah Iowa Green Initiative is an option.
The first ever event will feature a wealth of environmentally friendly topics, exhibits and activities including tours of 11 eco-friendly homes built in the area for the purpose of sustainable living.
Folks will also be welcomes at Luther College, where an electric vehicle fleet will be on display along with students and faculty who will be on hand to discuss how Luther College plans to reduce its carbon emissions by 50 percent over the next four years.
