"Go Green, It's Cheaper!"

A GREEN King Alert!
Happy Green Year everyone! It's green to be here. Going Green is all the buzz as expected. This is going to be a banner year in "Green Lifestyle" advocacy. Last night I had the pleasure of attending "The Sierra Club's" presentation of "Go Green, It's Cheaper!" event. Dr. David Haake, associate professor of medicine in the David Geffen School of Medicine UCLA-Division of Infectious Diseases, examined the question of whether green choices make financial sense. Let me tell you, it was practical advice, offered in a much needed time as we find ourselves amidst an energy crisis. We all need to know easy ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Everyone was encouraged to bring their Edison or DWP energy bills as Dr Haake gave an easy to follow powerpoint presentation on how to financially be efficient during the process of going green. For those interested you can download a copy of Dr. Haake's must have power point here.
Last nights buzz was so magnificent, a news team from Time Warner Cable taped and interviewed attendees for a "CNBC" segment break that will be aired on Time Warner cables regional subscribers network. For those who were unable to experience last nights presentation firsthand, you will be able to see tid-bits of Dr. Haake's presentation on CNBC in the coming weeks. I will post times and dates as I recieve them. Keep checking on my blog for our next event so as not to miss our July 10th meeting when Barent Roth, who runs the Residential Greening Program- Sustainable Works here in Santa Monica, comes to present to us. Come early for if last nights meeting is any indication, it will be a standing room only affair.
This event was fun, educational and entertaining. The buzz afterwards, had people in a tizzy about greening their environments. Thanks again Dr Haake! Until next time, keep Greening.....
