Have you been thinking about upgrading your home to make it more energy efficient? Do you also want to help your local schools?


Now there’s a way you can do both!


Homeowners, come join Energy Upgrade California and StopWaste.Org at the Glenview Home Energy Upgrade Workshop on Thursday, November 15 at 6:30 PM to learn more about how easy it is to get up to $4,000 back on home improvements that will help save you money, make your home more energy-efficient and improve home comfort.To RSVP, visit http://eucworkshopglenview-es2.eventbrite.com/?rank=1


Plus, your energy upgrade will benefit schools in your area. When you sign up for an energy upgrade, the local school of your choice will receive $250. Visit www.energizefortheprize.org for more information and a full list of participating schools.


Did you know?



  • You can get up to $4,000 in rebates to make your home more energy efficient

  • The average home loses approximately 40% of its energy. That’s means 40 cents of every $1 is leaking out of your home

  • Indoor air quality is 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor air quality

  • The average home creates more air pollution than the average car   


 


Join your neighbors! More energy upgrades have been completed in Alameda County than any other county in the Bay Area.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

The occupiers complain that the meanies won't let them temporarily plant stuff on the futureRead More mixed-use project site, on the other hand the occupiers threaten a permanent occupation. This linked occupier image reminds me of Game of Drones (as in critters that perform no meaningful work) http://gallery.mailchimp.com/fef1cd615d86cfe1a43674873/images/ReOccupy_FARM_TOOLS.2.1f17376.jpg

Congratulations, Carla. The article failed to mention what a great neighbor you are.

@Dover: The parent birds didn't look like doves. They were the commonly seen dull-yellowish birds.Read More Smaller than a pigeon but larger than a sparrow. Robins? I can't tell for sure. We checked the abandoned nest. To my eyes, it was well built, and stably setup between grape branches. It didn't capsize. The dead baby birds were found at least 5 feet away from the ground right beneath the nest. Something must have got them out of the nest and killed them. We didn't look at the corpses in detail to decide the cause of death though.

@Ross: I was wondering that too. It could be the squirrels, which were very active in my backyardRead More and the neighborhood. They still are very active.
Dover May 20, 2013 at 09:31 am
I agree with Ross. A predator would have eaten those yummy, tender, tasty baby birds. It soundsRead More more like a case of incompetent nest construction to me. Were they doves? Doves are well-known for their inability to build proper nests but there are others who struggle too. Instinct and ability do not always travel hand-in-hand. Not much you can do about that, unfortunately. Some creatures are incompetent. Some people are incompetent. That's life.
Debris collection now at 10 days
Ralph Whize May 20, 2013 at 10:12 pm
Got thru to the City Inspector (twice) and he finally called the contractor, who (at the end of dayRead More 12 of trash build up) moved the debris pile away. Albany Planning Commission meeting is 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 7:30 pm and I'm hoping local homeowners will take time to address this and other CV issues.
Dover May 20, 2013 at 09:40 am
Hey! Cool! Now I know where to dump my unwanted items! ;-) Seriously though, "the city"Read More is not helpless, "the city" is lazy and sometimes you have to kick them in the ass to get them moving. What have you tries thus far? I assume you have communicated with the CV owner or contractor. What else have you done?
Ann Farmer May 19, 2013 at 06:22 pm
This is not only an eyesore. This is a health hazard. The boards you see in the photo have nailsRead More sticking out. This area has become the trash heap for anyone walking by wanting to dispose of garbage. With bins overflowing, trash is blown down the street into residents' yards.

I intended to add: Now, if only UCB would treat its other land holdings, like the Gill Tract, withRead More similar respect. Who wants another parking lot? Not me. Build "Senior Housing" at transit-friendly El Cerrito Plaza, not on the last patch of arable land left in the East Bay!

This Executive Summary, makes it sound OK. Better than another 1991 Fire, for sure: To reduce theRead More potential for these areas to support and spread wildfires, UCB proposes to eliminate eucalyptus, Monterey pine, and other non-native trees that promote the spread of wildfire. Oak and bay trees and other native vegetation present under the larger non-native trees would be preserved and encouraged to expand.
