Executive Director
Burbank Green Alliance

Take the Zero Waste Attendee Pledge! Burbank Green Alliance wants to help you reduce our waste-print this November 17-18th. Be a Green Attendee by checking-off what you can do:

  • __ Reduce My Footprint! I will bike, carpool, or use public transportation. (If you bike to the event you get in FREE.)
  • __ Bring My Reusable Bag! I will say no to disposable bags.
  • __ Bring My Reusable Water Bottle! I will fill it up at home.
  • __ Bring My Reusable Utensils and Napkins! I will use my own.
  • __ Go Easy On Freebies! I will only take what I will use.
  • __ Save Paper! I will scan business cards on my phone. (There’s an App for that!)
  • __ Shop Smart! I will buy sustainable goods that are locally made, recycled, non-toxic, and/or minimally packaged.
  • __ Bring My Name Badge! I will bring my reusable name badge, so I won’t need to take a new one or I will remember to hand back the one they give me.
  • __ Read the Signs! I will be sure to sort my trash in the appropriate receptacles; if I don’t know, I will ask someone.
  • __ Say Thank You! I will thank vendors for doing their part to be green.
  • __ If you don’t yet own reusable utensils, water bottles, or bags no worries, you can purchase these environmentally friendly items from Green Festival Vendors.

Burbank Green Alliance is proud to be a nonprofit ally and wishes you a fun and sustainable event!

Have a fantastic time!

Incandescent Light Bulb Hoarder Confesses the Error of His Ways

“I love this story, published over on the right-wing pollster Rasmussen’s editorial page. In it, a self-professed environmentalist confesses that he has been hoarding incandescent bulbs for months, in anticipation of the “light bulb ban” — before realizing the error, and utter ridiculousness, of his doing so.

See, as author Froma Harrop points out, there is no incandescent light bulb ban. We’ve been guilty of framing it as such here at TreeHugger, much to my chagrin, but the truth is that you’re still going to be able to get the exact same quality of light — even from incandescent bulbs! Those bulbs just have to be a lot more efficient, that’s all!”

“In early January, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that itsFood Price Index had reached an all-time high in December, exceeding the previous record set during the 2007-08 price surge.
