On February 24, 2012 more than 250 people attended the Shades of Green Conference held in Morrisville. This conference was the first of its kind in Madison County. With over 30 speakers, the free full-day event was open to the public and the three tracks made sure there was something for everyone, from the home and business owner to the community leader.
Topics included smart growth, energy efficiency, eating sustainably, green building practices, composting and installing green infrastructure such as rain gardens, community gardens, effective historic preservation, green jobs, and renewable energy initiatives.
