Springtime Classes 2010 (Free ones)!!

Hi all,

Since I’ve negelected the blog for a while, the least I could do is update it with less thoughtful navel-gazing and give y’all readers (most of whom I work with) an update on Bay Area focussed green building or energy related Classes.  I’ve sorted through the chaff to find the ones most appropriate to us all in some form or another.
