and reduce global warming!
U.S. households produce 21% of the country's global warming pollution. That means that smart choices at home can really make a difference! Green@Home helps communities take action to reduce global warming by making their homes more energy efficient.

Green@Home HouseCalls help fight climate change by saving residents energy, money and CO2. Trained volunteers meet with residents in their homes to install simple energy-saving devices and create home energy conservations plans. Volunteers demonstrate environmentally friendly choices and foster a deeper awareness of the need for change.
HouseCalls are available to all residents of participating cities whether you rent or own.
Green@Home currently has funding for 2008-2009 to operate in the following communities:
Cupertino
Menlo Park
Palo Alto
Redwood City
Sunnyvale
Green@Home is interested in meeting with City officials and involved citizens who are able to work toward identifying processes and funding needed to bring the program to new cities in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties in California. To explore the possibilities of bringing Green@Home to a community, please contact Twana Karney, Program Director, at 650-962-9876 x316.
Funded by a Grant from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Funding for the Green@Home program is also provided on a year-to-year basis by a combination of grants, donors, and sponsors. Most grants provide for Green@Home services in a specific city or community.
