Going Green Without the Greenbacks, 2011Eleanor Olsen
“Going Green Without the Greenbacks” presented by Eleanor Olsen, AKBD, principal of Total Spaces Design, is packed with tips to save you “greenbacks”, while “greening up” your home, and saving the planet. Eleanor’s seminar uses the example of a pitiful little house that most other General Contractors would consider a tear down to illustrate how it was turned into a charming cottage on a tiny budget. Total Spaces Design remodeled this house completely, on a very tight budget, using premium materials salvaged from Second Use, and a few other Earth saving salvage opportunities, sweat equity from the homeowner with how to tips along the way and Eleanor’s own unique brand of creativity.
Turning down the thermostat a few degrees, turning off lights when not in use, and replacing ordinary light bulbs with energy-saving lamps can save energy and money over time. Every home loses heat through windows, walls, roof and floors, but better insulation and more efficient appliances can reduce the rate of energy loss. Making improvements like adding double glazing windows, which can cut energy loss by 50% by using two panes of glass with an air gap, means less fuel is needed to stay comfortable and smaller utility bills.

God Loves You Leaflet by Janet Edmonds.pdfElton Sherwin
Why is it that some people discriminate against queers and some churches and conservative Christians are so against the LGBTQIA+ Community?
This leaflet provides some of the answers.
Part of the problem is that some churches teach that the Bible, God’s Word, says that homosexuality or being queer is a sin. This teaching is WRONG! This leaflet explains 7 specific Bible scriptures often called the “CLOBBER PASSAGES” because they are used by conservative Christians to “clobber” the LGBTQIA+ Community. When these 7 scripture passages are read without knowledge of context, history, and original intent, it’s easy to jump to the WRONG conclusion that God doesn’t approve of same-sex or queer relationships. Using the words literally, as they appear in the Bible, to condemn all queer people, is a MISINTERPRETATION of the original scriptures and the initial purpose of why they were written.
FIRST, a look at 2 AMAZING Bible scriptures that are AFFIRMING and ENCOURAGING for the LGBTQIA+ Community.

The Bible and Homosexuality, Part 1: Sodom and Gomorrah and the Old Testament...Elton Sherwin
This document provides an overview of a presentation on what the Bible actually says about homosexuality. It begins by discussing how religious upbringing can positively impact well-being but negatively impact LGBTQ youth. It then examines the first two Old Testament "clobber verses" used against homosexuality - the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and the story of the Levite's concubine - finding that neither are actually about homosexuality. It questions the common interpretation of verses in Leviticus in context. The presentation aims to take a fresh look at what the Bible says about homosexuality through accurate translations and scholarship.
The Bible and Homosexuality, Part 2: The 7 Scriptures Blessing Sexual MinoritiesElton Sherwin
This document discusses a presentation on the Bible and homosexuality. It begins by noting studies that found religious upbringings are linked to better health outcomes, but that LGBTQ children attending churches believing homosexuality is sinful have higher suicide rates. The presentation aims to reexamine what the Bible says about homosexuality. It discusses scriptures about God's universal love and three Bible verses affirming sexual minorities, including the story of the Ethiopian eunuch baptized by Philip. Commentators say this story and Jesus framing a verse about eunuchs show the Gospel's inclusiveness of people regardless of sexual orientation.
LGBTQ in Scripture Part 3: New Testament Clobber VersesElton Sherwin
This document summarizes a three-part presentation on what the Bible says about homosexuality. It discusses several biblical passages often used to condemn homosexuality ("clobber verses") and argues they have been taken out of context. When examined closely, these verses are about rape, orgies, temple prostitution or human trafficking, not consensual same-sex relationships. The document concludes the Bible does not clearly condemn all homosexual acts and orientations.

Public Workshop for the Update to AB 32 Scoping Plan
By making several changes to reduce energy usage in his large home, the author was able to significantly lower his electric bills. He installed a more efficient pool pump, replaced many incandescent light bulbs with CFL and LED bulbs, used power strips and timers to eliminate phantom loads, and audited circuits to find other energy vampires. As a result, his annual electric bill decreased by over 50% from $5,172 to $2,109, saving over $3,000 per year. The three biggest savings came from the pool pump, lighting changes, and use of smart power strips.
Job Creation: Three Things Government Can DoElton Sherwin
A presentation by Elton Sherwin on building efficiency and job creation: Straightforward actions that cities, counties and states can implement. Prepared for the Governing Sustainability Summit, New York City – June 21, 2011. Elton is the Author of “Addicted to Energy.”
Elton Sherwin’s presentation to Senior Commercial Officers of the US Department of Commerce about what makes Silicon Valley unique and how to clone the valley’s engine of economic development elsewhere. PowerPoint with audio: Twelve secrets in 12 minutes.
The document provides four recommendations to create jobs in California through energy efficiency improvements:
1. Grade all buildings monthly on energy consumption and disclose grades annually, motivating upgrades.
2. Require smart lighting controls in commercial and government buildings to reduce lighting energy 50-80%.
3. Require smart motors that automatically slow down to reduce motor energy use by 50-80%. Motors consume half of U.S. electricity.
4. Create energy savings accounts to finance upgrades through on-bill financing repaid with utility bill savings, providing funds and motivation.
The recommendations aim to create over a million sustainable jobs in California through retrofitting buildings with efficient lighting, motors, and other upgrades to shift away from
Thermal storage, such as ice-making air conditioners, can help save the electric grid by shifting demand from peak daytime hours to overnight. As climate change increases demand for air conditioning, renewable sources like wind are intermittent and don't always match peak demand. Thermal storage allows excess wind power generated at night to be stored as ice and used to power air conditioning during the day, reducing strain on the grid. Many commercial buildings already use such systems successfully to lower costs and emissions. Widespread adoption of thermal storage could help integrate more renewable energy and avoid the need for new power plants.
Building Ratings: Do the Europeans or Americans Have It Right?Elton Sherwin
This is a presentation for the 2011 EUEC meeting in Phoenix. It contrasts the New York City's PlaNYC, building energy disclosure rules with the Energy Performance Certificates used in London, the UK and most of the European Union.
