Climate change is emerging as THE issue confronting humanity in the 21st Century. Green@Home answers the question, "What can I do about global warming?" We show people ways to save energy and reduce the burning of fossil fuels − while helping their neighbors and building community.

Three ways to get involved:

1. Request a FREE HouseCall. Acterra's trained volunteers will offer you five energy-saving upgrades and create a customized conservation plan for your household.

Through September 15, 2007, HouseCalls are only available to residents of Barron Park and Midtown Palo Alto, our two pilot neighborhoods. Check back in September to find out when service will begin in other Palo Alto locations and surrounding communities.

2. Become a Green@Home volunteer. Learn some basic "handyperson" skills and help your neighbors save energy and protect our climate. Three-person teams will make scheduled two-hour HouseCalls to residents in two pilot neighborhoods this spring and summer.

3. Help grow the Green@Home project. Work in our office, do outreach to other communities, prepare written materials, create graphics − all skills are needed!

Each of us can make a difference. Green@Home starts in our homes, making small changes that add up to a significant impact − and develops the community spirit that results in policy level shifts, as well. Join us in building a grassroots movement to curb climate change!
