HOW GREEN IS THEIR VALLEY?

Valle Verde senior community is an environmentalist's dream
October 21, 2007: Valle Verde Retirement Homes, located in the Hidden Valley neighborhood of Santa Barbara, pulled a hat trick this year by winning three environmental awards, and it is currently competing for a fourth, thanks to its Green Initiative of alternative energy and conservation efforts made on its campus since 2004. After adding solar panels, constructing eco-friendly buildings and other environmental efforts, Valle Verde was awarded the

Solar Energy Certificate from the City of Santa Barbara in June, the 2007 Green Award from the Santa Barbara Green Award Consortium in September, and received the California Waste Reduction Awareness Program (WRAP) award on Tuesday. Valle Verde has also been nominated for the Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award.

PS Thank you for all your wonderful articles, which I just now found by going to "Authors." Is the City of Ojai as up-to-speed on solar energy and eco-friendly buildings as Santa Barbara? Are you working with the Ojai Valley Green Coalition?

The City of Ojai is not as up to speed on solar energy and green building as Santa Barbara, but they are begining to work on it and yes, I am working with the Ojai Green Coalition Energy Committee. Stay tuned! Big things coming!
