CONSERVATION KITS: We are creating conservation kits that homeowners will be able to borrow to learn more about effective means of conservation, new technologies and tools that can help you and money-saving programs and services. If you are interested in getting on the list to receive a kit, please send an email to info@athertongreen.net. |
| COMMUNICATION |
ATHERTONGREEN: The EPC's Environmental Information Exchange is an email list for anyone in Atherton and the surrounding towns (Palo Alto to San Carlos) interested in participating in the environmental conversation. Join this group and get environmental news, notices, announcement and hear expert information, dialogue about issues and get referrals and advice regarding environmental matters of concern to our community. The EPC sends out notice about its programs and events through this list before it is distributed through other means. |
| SPONSORSHIPS |
| HAVE A GREEN PRODUCT OR SERVICE?: The EPC accepts sponsorships from reputable business and non-profit groups in support of its programs. We do not have a marketing group or the ability to reach out to all good prospects for sponsorships. If you think you have something we should know about and would like to get more exposure to our community, please click on our Sponsors page above to learn more. |

Our Mission: Educating Atherton residents about environmental issues and seeking to improve the overall environmental performance of the town, by reducing waste and pollution, enhancing energy efficiency and use of clean energy technologies, reducing our contributions to greenhouse gas emissions and adopting effective conservation practices. 
GREENSTART CHALLENGE: The EPC's collaborative community competition launched in the spring of 2008 and awarded nearly $5,000 to local student greens teams from Atherton's ten schools and several from surrounding towns. This program is being expanded and will run again during the 2008-2009 school year, with students challenged to reduce their home carbon footprints, in collaboration with their parents. Residents will be provided with information about home efficiency and special sponsored promotions to help them save money while they take home efficiency measures.
