2-4 PM, Free, Unitarian Fellowship 1924 Cedar @ Bonita Berkeley Power Plug-In: Know our Power Join us in our campaign to take control of our power supply. Our goals are conservation, fair prices, renewable energy, and the creation of a publicly-owned power authority. If we are going to have the kind of energy system we all want, we need to organize a solid political base regionally and statewide. An organized base can challenge the greedy utitlities'/energy companies' large campaign contributions, arny of lobbyists, and big dollar advertising budgets. If we get organized we can demand and create; conservation, fair prices, renewable energy, and the creation of a publicly-owned power authority. If we don't do it ourselves NOW, our future will be decided for us by the the greedy and ignorant energy company executives and their lacky politicians. More billions in taxpayer bailouts, higher rates, more fossil fuel plants, more nuclear, more global warming, more insanity. For more information call (510) 841-7413 |

6:00 pm reception, 6:30 pm lecture, Donation $3 - $7 PG&E's Pacific Energy Center 851 Howard St, San Francisco, CA 94103 4 Blocks from BART's Powell Street Station The Northern California Chapter of Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibliity presents: From Heat Islands To Cool Communities Lisa Gartland (This program was recently scheduled and is not listed on the PEC's printed calendar.) Dr. Lisa Gartland will describe the heat island phenomena and ways to reverse it. A heat island is a "reverse oasis" created in our cities and suburbs by the use of conventional, hot building materials and a lack of shade. The use of cool pavements, cool roofing and trees & vegetation can negate the heat island - and save energy, improve comfort and increase the life of building materials. Dr. Gartland will also present information on national, state and local programs addressing the heat island, including the current State of California Cool Roof Retrofit Program. Dr. Lisa Gartland is currently the sole proprietor of PositivEnergy, a consulting firm specializing in community energy conservation, and is also the director of the Sacramento Cool Community Program. She was previously a post-doctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in their heat island research group as well as leader of their integrated chiller retrofit program. Other experience includes design of jet engines and powerplants at GE and Westinghouse. She holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington. You may also call ADPSR at 510-273-2428 to confirm event dates and topics. |
