Apply for a free home environmental performance assessment

If you live in the City of Seattle, recruit your neighbors and apply for free home environmental performance assessments this summer. All Seattle homeowners are eligible, and participants will be selected based on the number of applicants from a particular block. With all the grants and rebates out there right now, you could have home retrofits completed for a very low cost.

Learn more about the Green Blocks Program, and apply to be part of the pilot project.

Volunteer with Sustainable Kirkland and get a free pass to Kirkland Uncorked!

Calling all volunteers!

Sustainable Kirkland, the community group I talked about in this blog and this blog, is partnering with the organizers of Kirkland Uncorked to help "green" this year's festival, July 17-19 on the downtown Kirkland waterfront (Marina Park).

Remember those awesome volunteers at Seattle Green Festival who sorted your compost, recycling, and trash before you could even prove that you knew how to recycle determine which bin was which? Well, Sustainable Kirkland will play a similar role, educating visitors about recycling and minimizing the volume of non-reusable (landfill bound) waste produced by the festival.

We need you! Sustainable Kirkland needs help covering all the shifts of the festival, July 17 - 19. The best part of volunteering? You get a free pass to Kirkland Uncorked! The festival features art, wine, food, and jazz music - what more could you want for a good time on the shore of Lake Washington?
