While much of the nation will be glued to their televisions for the second debate between Barack Obama and John McCain, other things will be happening. For example, in McLean, Virginia, there will be an open house about "Green Choice$".  This informational session will give local residents a chance to learn about how they "can conserve energy without breaking the bank".

"Often, small changes in one's lifestyle can add up to big changes in our efforts to save the environment," said Rob Jackson, president of McLean Citizens Association and one of the forum's sponsors.

Simply true.

The forum is Tuesday, 7 October, McLean Community Center, from 7 to 9:30 pm.  Therea re three basic areas of discussion:  energy saving at home; environmental issues; and fostering community commitment to energy conservation.

This is being held just a few days before Virginia's Sales Tax holiday for energy efficiency, 10-13 October.  Spending up to $2,500, on a limited number of energy-related items, will be exempt from sales tax if bought for home / personal use.
