It's Raining Money, Hallelujeh!


I say it all the time to my clients, but I want to make sure I pass the information along here too: The East Bay Municipal Utility District will pay you, yes I said pay you to upgrade your old, ineffiencient, water and energy-wasting appliances and systems.

They operate a
rebate system where you may receive several hundred dollars for changing out your toilets, clothes washer and even landscaping, and replacing them with models or systems that incorporate water conserving elements. Go to their website now and read about how you can reduce your water use and maybe even your utility bill!

By the way, EBMUD is an amazing resource in other ways: they offer
free water-saving devices like low flow shower heads and faucet aerators, just because you ask! Are you a teacher, or would you like your child's school to incorporate conservation education into their curriculum? Visit this page to learn about the classroom materials and school garden programs they offer.

I could go on, and I will (but later!), about everything you can find on the EBMUD site that will make your conservation efforts at home easier and your utility bills a little smaller. I hope you learn that when you take a few simple steps to actively
conserve our natural resources, you feel good about it, and pass the information along to friends and colleagues.
