FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Green Collar Crew Provides Free Public Service Workshops in Charlotte, NC and Seattle, WA

Charlotte, NC (May 15, 2009) – Green Collar Crew (GCC) is providing free public service workshops on Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Audits in the Charlotte, NC and Seattle, WA regions.

Scott Spivak, Founder and Principal Building Scientist of Green Collar Crew and the 2008 Energy Star Partner of the Year Award recipient, will educate homeowners on basic home performance and to offer a step-by-step process for auditing their homes using building science and the “house-as-a-system” approach.

“Energy is a wonderful commodity for our communities but over-consumption is having devastating environmental effects by decreasing the quality of our air and therefore our health,” says Scott Spivak. “Our homes are where we spend most of our time and raise our families. Most existing homes however waste energy and are unhealthy environments.”

Attendees of the workshop will receive a Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Audit Kit, which includes an audit worksheet, home energy audit booklet and a Green Collar Crew clipboard.

GCC requests that each attendee consider offering a tax-deductible contribution of $15 to the Green Collar Energy Campaign to ensure that families who cannot afford a Comprehensive Home Energy & Health Audit can receive its benefits.

Green Collar Crew strives to serve homeowners and our natural environment by increasing public awareness of the need to reduce dependency on traditional sources of energy, reduce home energy costs and improve indoor air quality.
