These businesses showcase ways residents can go green by adopting more environmentally-friendly practices and by using green products and services produced right here in New Hampshire.”According to Pat McDermott, PSNH’s economic and community development manager, “we see Greenerpalooza as a terrific way to build awareness of issues like recycling and making energy efficiency improvements.”Tickets to Greenerpalooza, which includes entry into the eco-village, are available online at www.meadowbrook.net.A limited number of vendor slots for green businesses are still available for $200.
