Connie Green, Administrative Secretary Page 2 of 3 Sustainability Commission Minutes Connie Green From: Conservation Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2018 6:10 PM To: Connie Green Subject: CLEAN Newsletter TRASHING ONE EGG WASTES 55 GALLONS OF WATER Chula Vista Electric Vehicle Fleet To Double In Size The City of Chula Vista is set to nearly double the number of electric vehicles in the city's fleet. The City Council voted last week to acquire 34 new vehicles, including 14 all -electric and 20 plug-in hybrid electric models. The new vehicles replace aging, gasoline - powered cars and trucks that are less reliable and cost more to maintain. The new models include Ford Fusion Energi, Mitsubishi Outlander and Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt Cargo vehicles. The total cost is approximately $750,000, and the purchase is made possible by Measure P, a half -cent sales tax measure approved by voters in 2016. COOK IT, STORE IT, SHARE IT. 00 Compared to the vehicles that will be replaced, the cost to fuel the new vehicles will be an estimated 61 percent lower, while greenhouse gas emissions will be an estimated 80 percent lower. Maintenance costs are also expected to be lower because electric vehicles have fewer parts to maintain than internal combustion vehicles. The new vehicles will join 15 all -electric vehicles purchased in March. The acquisition of these new vehicles brings the total share of electric and alternative -fuel vehicles in the city fleet to 31 percent. As part of the Climate Action Plan and the Operations Sustainability Plan, the city's goal is to reach 40 percent alternative -fuel or electric vehicles by 2020. This purchase is the city's first to be made as part of the Climate Mayors EV Purchasing Collaborative, a program launched by 20 founding cities last month. The program enables the City of Chula Vista to purchase vehicles using competitively solicited contracts from other agencies that meet or exceed city requirements. "Our effort to modernize our city fleet with efficient vehicles is consistent with our long history of environmental stewardship and leadership in Chula Vista," said Mayor Salas. "Doubling the number of electric vehicles in our fleet sends a strong message about our commitment to achieving the goals of our Climate Action Plan." Invitation To Attend Sustainability Commission Meeting Members of the public are invited to attend the December monthly meeting of the Sustainability Commission at 5:00 pm on Monday December 10`h in room 103, Building A at City Hall. The Sustainability Commission focuses on energy and water conservation, resource recovery, environmental sustainability and other related fields as determined by the City Council. The Commission works in conjunction with the Economic Development Department Office of Sustainability regarding the public education, development, implementation and evaluation of environmental initiatives and programs that advance economically and environmentally sustainable local practices. The Sustainability Commission meets the second Monday of each month and more information can be found here. Keep Holiday Light Decorating Safe, Efficient, Festive and Fun More than 86 percent of Americans decorate their homes as part of their winter holiday celebrations. Cut down on their energy use during the holidays by making smart lighting choices. Energy.gov cites many reasons to choose LED holiday lighting over incandescent lights. LEDs use up to 80% less energy than traditional bulbs, they're brighter, eco -friendly, and are safer, as they are much cooler than incandescent lights. They are easy to install—up to 24 strings of LEDs can be connected end-to-end without overloading a wall socket. They last ten times longer and have no filaments or glass to break. Stay safe during the holidays with these tips: 1. Get reflective. Shiny ornaments, tinsel and mirrors multiply the effects of your lighting without using more energy. Keep tinsel away from pets though. Don't forget non -electric wreaths, garland and reflective menorahs. 2. Hang lighting correctly. Make sure that no cords will be pinched by furniture or placed under rugs, furniture or other appliances. If covered, cords can overheat or become frayed, increasing the risk of fire. 3. Be safe outdoors. When climbing ladders to string lights, check for overhead power lines and stay at least 10 feet away. Never place yourself or any object in a way that risks contact with power lines—the result can be fatal. 4. Trim trees. Before stringing lights on outdoor trees, ensure tree limbs haven't grown into or near power lines. Branches, entire trees and even the ground adjacent to a tree can become energized when trees contact power lines. 5. Put your tree in a safe location. Don't place your holiday tree near a heat source such as a fireplace or heat vent. The heat will dry out the tree, making it more susceptible to fires caused by heat, flame or sparks. 6. Check condition of lights. Inspect light strands for cracked or broken plugs, frayed insulation or bare wires. Worn cords can cause fires, so discard damaged sets of lights. 7. Read the labels. Be sure to check each product label to see whether the lights are intended for indoor or outdoor use. Don't use indoor lights outdoors. Recycle Your Batteries For Free! The holidays are here and that means you might be replacing your battery -powered gadgets with new ones. If so, be sure to recycle the old batteries! If you have household batteries weighing less than 11 pounds, it's easy to do the right thing and recycle them. Simply place your batteries in the battery collection box located at one of these stores: - Any Chula Vista AutoZone auto parts store - Any Chula Vista O'Reilly auto parts store - Gravity Repair (555 Broadway, Suite 2046) - NextGen Wireless Repair (294 Center Street) - San Diego Metro KOA (111 N. Second Avenue) - South Coast RV (801 Broadway, Suite A) You may also bring your batteries to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility located at 1800 Maxwell Road every Wednesday and Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm. This facility is open to Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City and unincorporated San Diego County residents. More information is available on our website: chulavistaca.gov/clean. And remember to use rechargeable batteries — you will save money and create less waste! Proper Disposal Of Gift Wrap: Recycle or Trash? One of the most common mistakes recyclers find in the blue bins at this time of year is gift wrap. Much of the glossy or laminated gift wrap that's popular around the holidays can't be recycled; neither can many of the ribbons — especially those with wire. Newsprint, paper grocery bags or other natural -fiber papers are a better alternative because they are recyclable. Gift bags, reusable shopping bags, or totes are another good option because they can be utilized multiple times. From Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, we create an additional one million tons of waste each week. Visit our holiday recycling tips page to help you cut down your waste during the holiday season at chulavistaca.gov/clean. Holiday Trees Recycling is FREE and EASY in Chula Vista Residents living in a Single-family home: Place tree(s) at the curb on your regular collection day. Residents living in an Apartment/Condo: Contact your apartment manager or association for the scheduled collection days at your complex. Managers or association directors may call Republic Services at (619) 421-9400 to find out when their trees will be picked up. Prepare Your Tree: • Remove all ornaments, tinsel, garland and plastic or metal stands • When possible, cut tree into four -foot sections • Remember: Plastic trees are NOT recyclable and must be disposed of as trash! Fire Safety: • Keep trees away from heat registers, ducts and fireplaces • Keep plenty of water in the stand or bucket of sand; don't let the tree get dry • Unplug tree lights when you are not home and before you go to bed • Keep a charged fire extinguisher handy • Recycle or dispose of your tree as soon as the holidays are over • Be careful not to overload electrical outlets with lights/decorations CLEAN Business Program Please help us in welcoming our newest member to the CLEAN Business program, Soapy Joe's located at 3048 Bonita Rd.
