If you're in the Washington, DC area October 26-29, 2006, you may want to go check out the Saturn Greenhouses. Saturn will be sponsoring three special environmental displays in conjunction with the Marine Corps Marathon. The greenhouses will be set up at Union Station, the Reagan Building and the Marine Corps Marathon Expo center. Sam Grawe of Dwell Magazine will be speaking at the Union Station greenhouse at 4:30pm on the 26th about "Sustainability and Architectural Design". There will be live music from local musicians, a kids Arts & Scraps car building activity with recycled materials, organic food cooking demos, environmental demonstrations, tree seeding giveaways and a special relaxation station at the Marathon Expo site.

As you might expect from such and event, General Motors will be prominently displaying one of their newest products. The star of the show will be the new Saturn Vue Green Line hybrid. The full schedule of events will be up on the Saturn web site beginning October 23. Admission is free as are apples and beverages and no registration is required.
