The City of Redwood City is partnering with Acterra, a non-profit environmental education organization, to offer FREE energy-saving HouseCalls to residents in Redwood City. Volunteers are needed to carry out this important community building activity!Acterra trains the volunteers to provide energy audits, as well as energy-saving techniques and training on how to install free energy-saving devices (which are all included for free as a part of these energy audits), such as:
-- retractable clothesline
-- compact fluorescent light bulbs
-- faucet aerators
-- low-flow showerhead
You may be concerned about climate change, or just about rising energy prices and energy use. In any case, we hope you'll consider becoming a Green@Home volunteer, offering to help your neighbors reduce their carbon emissions, which in turn will reduce energy use and their energy bills.
A $30 deposit is required at the start of training, and will be refunded after performing a minimum of two HouseCalls within two months or so following training.
Volunteer trainings consist of two, 4.25 hour classes. We're offering special training to all Redwood City residents on Thursday, Nov. 5th & 12, 5:30-9:45 pm.
Cost: Free after refund of required $30 deposit. Details above.
Please RSVP to by calling Acterra at (650) 962-9876, ext. 380 or by email at greenathome@acterra.org.
