Alt Karlsbad building in CarlsbadLike a number of other Southern California communities, Carlsbad is going green, in more ways than one. Just a few of their efforts:

  • Most recently the town offices were retrofitted with new energy efficient heating, venting, and air conditioning units
  • Solatubes were installed in the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce offices to cut down on electric lighting
  • An Environmental Action Plan is being developed for the city
  • Focusing on improvements such as purchasing recycled materials where possible
  • CERMT, the Carlsbad Environmental Resources Managements Team was created in 2007 to evaluate and improve how Carlsbad manages its environmental initiatives (other project involvement include the desalination plant, management of storm water , and the Habitat Management Program)
  • The city is looking into converting city vehicles to hybrids and working on ways to reduce

With the increasing interest in creating a healthy community that will be sustainable for years, Carlsbad is to be applauded for their on-going efforts to be as green as possible.

5 Comments on Carlsbad is Going Green Again

Hi Jeff, so if I get a seaweed wrap at La Costa, that would be considered greening ... right?

Jeff,

We have a lot of green going on here. My solar panels keep my pool nice and warm all year round:)

Great summary of your local green efforts.  I'll bet you are like me and have files for myriad local news topics and keep adding to them daily.  You have become THE resource for Carlsbad!

Would love it if you could post this at the ECO-All-Stars Group...it is energizing for those of us who love the idea of sustainability and how it can positively impact our real estate business and clients.
