Sioux Falls Green Project’s newest supporting partner is celebrating their new green headquarters with an open house today in Madison, SD. Heartland Consumers Power District is a non-profit wholesale energy provider serving communities in three states, including the City of Sioux Falls.
The new HCPD headquarters were designed by Green Project co-founder Koch Hazard Architects to become our state’s first new LEED Platinum designated building. An open house is taking place from 10a to 2pm today, with a program beginning at 12:15pm featuring South Dakota State University President David Chicoine as keynote. Heartland provides renewable wind energy to power the SDSU campus in Brookings.

Welcome to the new Trash talkers season! We’ll kick things off at Automania on Friday night Downtown. If you haven’t signed up for a Trash Talker shift yet, don’t worry–we still have room for you Friday night or at any of the other events in our summer lineup. Just click here to see the details and get signed up.
Thanks a ton if you’ve signed up to work at Automania this Friday, June 11th. The Sioux Falls Green Project is very excited to have you on board for this event. Automania this year is a three day event. The Trash Talkers are participating in the Friday evening preview party Downtown, not the portion of the event that is at the Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday.
In order to prepare for the 2010 debut of the Trash Talkers team, we ask that you take a few minutes to watch our new orientation video. It’s a brief video (4 minutes) that will give you all the details that you need to be a trash talkin’ volunteer. Please watch this before you attend the event on Friday.
