How to get your green on in Calabasas

Now there’s a new reason to stop in at the county’s One-Stop Center in Calabasas. A self-serve environmental information center—featuring a wealth of literature on going-green programs—is now in place and growing. Eventually, the center will be an outpost of the L.A. County Energy Program, where residents will be able to access the department’s comprehensive website, call a toll free number to get answers from a live person and make an appointment to get onsite assistance in evaluating contractor bids or filling out papers for a county clean energy retrofit loan. The energy program expects to be making such loans by the end of the summer; those who want updates on the program can sign up here.

For now, the center, located at 26600 Agoura Road, Calabasas, has brochures on topics ranging from how to apply for home energy rebates to how to dispose of toxics safely.
