Join us for a whirlwind tour of water efficiency and energy empowerment at two eco-good homes in Petaluma. First is an inspiring visit to the homestead of Trathen Heckman, Executive Director of Daily Acts, where greywater and rainwater glory aligns with thoughtful resource use. Then, we’ll visit George & Ellen Beeler’s award-winning nearly ‘net-zero’ energy home built in 1940. Remodeling has reduced electric use by 75%, natural gas use by 30%, and dropped daily water use to 33 gallons/day––just one fifth of the American average. Their low energy use is even more remarkable because the Beelers live/work at home. Both tour sites showcase cutting-edge options alongside key behavior modifications. You’ll leave with plenty of mindful, daily actions to keep your home & garden sanely-powered and water-wise!
