What is a Palo Alto Neighborhood Green Team?

Palo Alto Neighborhood Green Teams are neighbors coming together to share ideas and take action to lower our carbon footprint and make our neighborhoods more sustainable. We have Green Teams in schools, and in businesses, why not in our neighborhoods!

Examples of recent projects include: a Green Home Tour, classes on lowering carbon footprint, Bike Palo Alto!, greening our local neighborhood events and much more! In addition to taking action, it is also an opportunity to meet your neighbors and have fun! For more information please visit our project pages or your neighborhood Green Team page above.

This project starts with neighbors in Palo Alto - with you! If you are interested in getting involved, please contact the organizer on your neighborhood page to get started. If your neighborhood is not yet organized, please e-mail us at info@pagreenteams.org.

Join in, help the planet and have fun!

Thank you to everyone who participated and made Bike Palo Alto! 2011 a great success!  We had over 500 participants and many reports of great route discoveris and lots of fun!  We want to thank Mayor Espinosa for kicking off the event and joining in for the ride.  We also want to thank the City of Palo Alto and all the bike shops, vendors, volunteers and other groups that participated in and supported the event.  We hope you will think about taking your bike for your next local trip!  If you would like copies of any of our route maps, please contact David Coale at david at evcl dot com.  We are looking foward to doing this again next year and hope you will check back for updates and join us again!

Join the Neighborhood Mini-Can Challenge!

Join the Mini-Can challenge and help your neighborhood be the first to reach 50%!  On Earth Day, April 22nd, 2011 the Green Teams are launching the Neighborhood Mini-Can Challenge. Mini cans are the smallest container size (20 gal.) for garbage service in Palo Alto. Switching to a mini-can saves money and reduces the amount of garbage sent to the landfill, helping the environment!
