I have a sneaking suspicion that I missed the “fire” installment, but Audubon Greenwich is doing a multi-part series on green building. Planning to make some changes to your home? Check out these Tuesday evening events to do it responsibly. Price of admission is $10 for adults; free for kids. Email jcordulack@audubon.org to RSVP.
