SVTAGS - Debbie Mytels & Jim SmithSilicon Valley Technology, Art, Green & Sustainability talk show with host and Executive Producer Heather Durham. Episode guests are Debbie Mytels from environmental organization Acterra’s “Be the Change” leadership program, and Jim Smith from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. In this show we cover programs to help do home improvements free or at low cost available to residents of San Jose, and other Bay Area cities. One program is a window replacement program through Sacred Heart Community Center that is subsidized for low income and/or people that have lost their jobs. Acterra has been doing Environmental programs for 40 years in Palo Alto. They and other organizations like the BAQMD team up to bring programs to the citizens of San Jose. The “Be the Change” environmental leadership program trains emerging leaders in the skills needed to take action within the places where they work, live, worship, and play to "green" our world from the inside out.
