The
festival's Green Expo Title Sponsor (for the 2nd
straight year) will be East
Meadow-based
Alure Home Improvement,
a leading home remodeling company and partner in the
"Green Levittown" initiative. The company provides
home performance energy audits and other innovative
green services.
"We offer the
first green kitchen with ice stone countertops, made
of cement and recycled glass," explained marketing
spokeswoman Lisa Barone. The company also offered
information about a variety of other energy
efficiency services they provide, including Energy
Star product recommendations and Owens-Corning
insulation products.
Another
sponsor, also in their 2nd year, Freeport-based Chief Equipment, Inc.
created a bit of a stir last year with its battery powered
"Auto mower," a lawn mower that moved across a side
area of the fair grounds on its own. Two models were
demonstrated, recharged automatically at either a
plugged in electric base station or through a solar
panel on top.
Last year at their
exhibit, representatives from the Expo's "Green
Level Sponsor" Bellmore/Wantagh-based Built Well Solar
Corp. answered fairgoers' questions about
solar-electric, solar hot water and solar pool
heating systems for homes and businesses, and
distributed free sun-yellow, biodegradable balloons.
"Being that this is my hometown, and I went to
Jerusalem Avenue School right here when it was still
a junior high, I was proud to be a sponsor," said
Built Well Solar's founder/owner Dan Sabia. "And we
were happy to see a thousand smiles on the faces of
the little kids we gave balloons out to."
Another
"green" sponsor (2nd year) will be Farmingdale-based Renewal By
Andersen, a division of Andersen Windows, the only
replacement window manufacturer to receive Green
Seal Certification for Environmental Stewardship.
Company representatives were on hand to explain the
energy-saving benefits of its replacement windows,
which are manufactured with minimal environmental
impact. Melville-based Infinity Windows of Long
Island, which offers energy efficient replacement
windows and doors, was another sponsor at the
festival.
"This is
what our clubs are all about," Bellmore Kiwanis Club
president John Monks said, "improving the
communities that we live in and helping the members
of those communities."
