Saturday the 17th, there's an Alameda Green Home Expo taking place at the Alameda Town Centre. The expo is free, and starts at 10 am, with talks on a number of great topics. I am honored to be included, and will be speaking on "Busting Green Home Myths." My talk is scheduled for 11:45 (or so).

The Green Home Expo will showcase the latest environmentally friendly products, services, and technology used in the homebuilding and home improvement industries. There's an impressive list of nearly 50 vendors, including contractors, landscape designers and architects, plus vendors who sell organic food and plants, children's toys and clothing and furniture. And it will host speakers who will talk about green landscaping, building and home restoration, and lowering energy costs.

For Berkeley residents the timing is ideal, as it coincides with the short window of opportunity to apply for Money for Energy Efficiency (ME2) grants. Next Tuesday, July 20th, is the deadline to get your address included in a lottery for up to $8500 in grants from the City and PG&E. For more information, visit my blog: GreenBungalows.info
