.1-3 p.m. $15 general public / $10 Ecology Center members. Ecology Center, 2530 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley. Residential Solar Energy Workshop This workshop will introduce participants to residential solar electricity. We will cover how solar electric cells work, how to size a system, strategies for maximizing the performance and efficiency of a solar electric system, orienting the solar array, and system components. We will also go over the different types of systems: stand alone, grid connected, and hybrid (for those times when the utility fails). We will also briefly go over state subsidies, net metering, cost, and discuss pay back periods for solar electric systems. Participants will get to produce electricity using photovoltaic panels and power a range of appliances (weather permitting). Instructor: Hal Aronson, a.k.a. "Solar Man," directs the Solar Energy Education Program for Berkeley EcoHouse. He teaches solar electricity and home heating in the Berkeley schools, has built solar homes, and leads solar electricity workshops and classes for Cabrillo College and the Rising Sun Energy Center.

Come and help us mobilize a response to the FDA's failure to regulate the biotech industry in any meaningful way. While evidence accumulates of the potentially devastating consequences of a gene spill, from herbicide-resistant gene-spliced super-weeds rampaging across Canada to new evidence that this year's American seed corn supply has been contaminated with the Starlink GMO (which has been declared unfit for human consumption), the FDA has issued new regulations that once again fail to call for any kind of safety testing or to mandate labelling, and continues to maintain the ludicrous position that there is no scientific evidence showing cause for alarm. We need to let the FDA feel our frustration and anger, and to spread the word about their reckless failure to fulfill their responsibilities to protect the public.

A guerilla theater demonstration - an amazing, enertaining, outrageous, hilarious, interracial, multi-ethnic display of grassroots people power. The power companies are ripping off the people of California in this energy crisis. Governor Davis' current bail-out proposal transfers still more money to the energy companies, hurts taxpayers, and furthers energy practices that pollute our communities and harm workers. We are demanding that Governor Davis use the state's power of eminent domain to declare the energy companies public property so that ratepayers, communities, and workers come first.

Wednesday Evenings, 7 to 9:30pm, $135 Class size limit: 30 people. Jerry Brown¹s We the People 200 Harrison Oakland, CA The Ecocity Sessions: A six week course in Ecocity thinking, theory, design and mapping taught by Richard Register, President, Ecocity Builders Richard has over thirty years experience in ecological city theory and design. In fact, it was Register who invented the term "ecocity" in 1978. His Ecocity Berkeley, Building Cities for a Healthy Future, has been a classic in eco-urban circles since it was first published in 1987. He is also the author of three other books, including Village Wisdom, Future Cities and the upcoming Ecocities. This six week course is open to those seriously interested in helping to create a better world for people and nature through the reshaping of the built human infrastructure. Basic ecocity theory will be presented, as well as an overview of the city in evolution, the city in nature, the city in history and the city today. We will focus on the Ecocity toolbox of reshaping methods and strategy guidelines for activism. Come prepared to listen, think, ask questions and get to work drawing, mapping and testing out your new ideas. Ecocity thinking visualizes a future in which prosperous downtown centers are open for pedestrian¹s feet, curious children, fish, frogs and dragonflies. Ecocities also build thriving neighborhood centers while reversing sprawl development, effectively creating whole cities based on human scale needs and transportation rather than the current pattern of automobile driven excess, wasteful consumption and the destruction of the biosphere. Working through ecological design, planning, projects, advocacy and education, we will be able cast aside our dependence on the automobile and recreate our human habitat in balance with nature.
Prerequisites: a pioneering spirit and a fondness for thinking outside the box. Please call and leave your name and phone number 510-524-4919 (Kirstin Miller), or email kleighmi@flash.net. |

Air Conditioning America Along with the automobile, baseball, and jazz music, air-conditioning is one of those truly American creations. Over the course of the twentieth century, we developed a dependence upon it unlike anywhere else in the world. The adaptation of air conditioning in developing countries is an indication that they have aspired to and achieved a bit of the 'American Dream'. Air conditioning is as representative of the Red, White and Blue as Coca-Cola or Marlboro cigarettes. A global dependence on AC at a time when energy costs are rising, fossil fuel reserves are being depleted, and levels of green-house gases in the atmosphere are rising would be disastrous. But we need not look abroad for the consequences of our reliance on air conditioning; California's dependence on air conditioning is a major source of concerns about power blackouts during the coming summer. Most people aren't familiar with how air conditioning became the norm in so many parts of the U.S.A., and as far as we know Ken Burns has no plans for a ten-part documentary on the subject in the near future. Fortunately we have Gail Cooper, Lehigh University professor and author of Air Conditioning America, to enlighten us on the evolution of air conditioning in this country. Ms. Cooper will describe how manufacturing processes, engineering societies, and technological advances all played a role in the growth of air conditioning. The story is filled with familiar companies, institutions and characters: General Electric, Westinghouse, New York Stock Exchange, Harvard School of Public Health, ASHRAE, Willis Carrier, and Frederick Winslow Taylor. The struggle between engineers and advocates of natural ventilation is a particularly interesting episode in the development of this technology. The triumph of engineers in this debate sealed the fate of the operable window in modern offices. Earns 1.5 AIA Continuing Education Learning Units Energy Center.

The interface between policy and practice with regard to sustainable building progress presents many resistances, due to market reality. In order to effect change, quickly enough to make a timely difference, it is crucial to research and understand the dynamics in an increasingly uni-polar, market-driven, society. Many grave concerns about our future lie just below the surface of apparent 'Western' affluence. Our glib departure, in the name of 'growth' from global protocols freely entered into is disquieting. The capacity of the 'free' market to think must therefore be questioned and market correctives from the demand side (and governance) much more urgently effected. Vested interests are enormous: Short-term forces determine actual behavior in both the market and electoral politics: a term of political or administrative office and the 'boom' or 'bust' of the moment are relatively short-lived: the sustainable 'payback' period is too long for most conventional 'players': this calls for intervention by more permanent governance to realise public policy. Such an approach requires empiricism and targeted fiscal instruments by governance coupled with consciousness-raising on the demand side of the market.
