A Presentation By Tony Greeen
The Bay Area prides itself of being one of the most environmentally conscious places on Earth. Yet in some locations it's pollution levels make its air hazardous to breathe for its inhabitants. Remarkably, there has been no
emissions cap in place for the Bay Area oil refiners who are responsible for a good part of the Bay Area’s pollution and GHG emissions. Hear how the passing Of Rule 12-16 can be a first step to protecting our air from fossil fuel production until renewable energy is adopted in large scale. Learn about:
- Why Rule 12-16 was proposed
- Why Oil produced from Tar Sands is hazardous to the environment
- How Oil Refineries contribute the Bay Area Air Pollution
Come join us for this special meeting!

The cold weather last winter led to unusually high natural gas bills, and perhaps some sense of guilt. Come and learn about new carbon-free electric heating solutions for homes and businesses. Using clean electricity to replace natural gas for heating saves money in the long run while protecting our environment and future. We willll view a video of a presentation by Pierre Delforge, of the Natural Resources Defense Council, given on May 31, 2017, at the Sunnyvale Sustainability Speaker Series.

Did the first part of the year go by as fast for you as it did for me? Incredible! For those of you not too familiar with EGG, we always do a mid year review in July to reflect on what we have accomplished during the first half of the year. We find that it is a good excuse to also do a potluck. If we're going to work, let's have fun and eat while we are doing it! Please join us. Bring some interesting food and/or drink to share. It will be an opportunity for members to provide ideas for what we would like to accomplish during the second half of 2017.
