CARBON WEIGHT!
Join Resilient Neighborhoods' FREE Pilot Program and help us lose half a million lbs! You can save money on utility bills and qualify for thousands of $$ of rebates from Energy Upgrade California, strengthen relationships with your neighbors, build a more sustainable local economy, be better prepared in an emergency, and help solve global environmental problems. It's fun, it's easy, and it's a great way to build community.
Resilient Neighborhoods provides free materials and coaching for each EcoTeam of 5-8 households, and shows you how to make enough simple adjustments to your lifestyle to reduce your annual CO2 output by at least 5,000 pounds in just 60 days. We support you all the way, and give specific examples from other Marin EcoTeams that have already completed their Low Carbon Diet. Each EcoTeam meets 5 times. We help you calculate your carbon footprint and then you choose simple actions in order to reduce your CO2. Every action counts...and there's lots of "low-hanging fruit" once you know what to do! The pilot is running now! Don't miss your chance to participate for free, and show your family, your friends, your children's school, and your community that we have the power to make the shift to a more sustainable world.

WHAT? WHY? HOW?
WHAT'S "RESILIENCE" AND HOW DOES IT RELATE TO US?
Resilience is "the ability to respond with flexibility and strength as local and global conditions inevitably change." Changes are accelerating, in large part, because of the demands our lifestyles, our commerce, and our governmental policies impose on the natural systems that support life.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Most of us don't realize the far-reaching impact of our thousands of small daily decisions...on our community and our planet. But we honestly want to do the "right thing." Resilient Neighborhoods gives us the background to make positive choices, and the program supports us as we learn new habits and responsible stewardship values. [more]
