Green Coalition to Partner with the Ojai Valley Youth Foundation on September 23.
On Wednesday, September 23, from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M., at the Chaparral High School Auditorium at 414 E. Ojai Avenue, the Ojai Valley Youth Foundation and Ojai Valley Green Coalition will join forces to help Ojai residents save money, energy, and the environment. The evening’s “Leave Your Mark” event will feature energy consultant Tim Broderick, a California Certified HERS Rater, Thermal Imaging Technician, and Energy Star Partner.
Broderick will speak about the small but important ways that people can make their homes more comfortable, healthful, and energy-efficient. “The tips I provide will help residents see how even the smallest energy measures can matter the most,” he explains.
The event will culminate months of hard work by a team of young people and adults in the Youth Foundation’s youth marketing agency, Generation Communications. The team has collected more than 900 paper leaves signed by Ojai Valley residents pledging to lower their energy use, and the leaves will be mounted on a large tree to be displayed throughout the evening.
The evening will include a drawing for an Energy Star television provided by Best Buy, as well as many other energy-efficient prizes provided by Ace Hardware in Meiners Oaks. Also, each attendee will receive an energy-efficient gift, and dessert treats from the kitchens of the Ojai Valley Green Coalition’s Culinary Club chefs will be served.
In cohosting the Ojai Valley Youth Foundation’s “Leave Your Mark” event, the Green Coalition continues its active efforts, begun in late 2006, to make the Ojai Valley a model green and sustainable community.
