CYES hires and trains local youth to provide free in-home energy education and hardware installation to homeowners and renters. The CYES program demonstrated high success in 2010 in Marin County by: • Providing employment and training to 10 youth, ages 15-22 • Providing 268 households with energy saving hardware and information, 8 of which were in the Town of Tiburon MATERIALS INSTALLED: Energy Specialists installed the following materials in 8 Tiburon homes at no cost: • 69 Compact fluorescent lamps • 5 Eff icient-flow showerheads & aerators • 1 Retractable clothesline • 6 CFL torchiere lamps • 5 Powerstrips ENERGY AND WATER SAVINGS: Ethnicity Language Caucasian 50% English 100% Decline to State 50% Additional Information Horne Information Disabled Clients 0% Average Square Footage 2,700 Senior Citizens 0% Average Household Size 3 Renters 14% The installation of these measures resulted in an annual energy reduction of 7,257 kWh, 14 therms and 4 gallons of water per minute, thereby reducing 5.27 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. This is equivalent to one of the following C02greenhouse gas emissions' • C02 emissions from 593 gallons of gasoline • C02 emissions from 12.3 barrels of oil consumed CLIENT FEEDBACK At each Green House Call, a pre-stamped client feedback card is left to.solicit client feedback and referrals. In 2010, 100% of the Marin client feedback cards rated the overall program quality as good or excellent. See some of the feedback from Tiburon clients: "It's great to see a program that trains college students about energy consumption and savings, and their ability to pass it on." "Excellent service, great information. Thank you." 1 Calculated using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency- Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator 1 MARIN COUNTY HAZARDOUS AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY REC' Belvedere: January 13, 2011 George Rodericks 'N 2 U L v . Charles McGlashan Corte Madera: Supervisor District 3 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE David Bracken 3501 Civic Center Dr k N% OF County of Mario: San Rafael, CA 94903 Matthew Hymel Re: Reusable Bag Program Augmentation Fairfax: Michael Rock Dear Supervisor McGlashan: Larkspur: The purpose of this letter is to inform you the Marin County Hazardous and Dan Schwarz Solid Waste Joint Powers Authority's (JPA) took action at their January 13, Mill Valley: 2011 meeting to allocate funds to assist in outreach efforts on the County's Jim McCann single bag ordinance. Specifically, the JPA budgeted $25,000 for single use bag ban ordinance outreach and educational materials to retailers. Novato: Michael Frank The JPA began providing bags to the public in 2007. They have since' handed out approximately 12,000 reusable, locally manufactured, canvas shopping Ross: bags. They have been distributed in front of grocery stores, at farmers Gary Broad markets, through the Marin Food Bank, and through various community groups and events. The program has been costing $10,000 annually to purchase San Ans Debbie Stut tutsman 3,000 bags. The bag distribution has been well received in the community but may be reaching a saturation point necessitating a shift in efforts. San Rafael: Jim Schutz The County of Marin's recent action to move forward and ass its own sin le p g use bag ordinance has already generated a dialogue within the community. Sausalito: Recognizing this, it may be an optimal time to enhance the JPA's bag handout Adam Politzer program with outreach and educational materials to retailers to educate them about coming changes and to help promote reuse. ' Tiburon: Margaret Curran JPA staff will be in contact with Stacy Carlsen of Weights and Measure to discuss next steps in developing and implementing this outreach.
