 October is National Energy Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to learn how to make your house as energy efficient as possible before the cooler months to come. The Eco-Home™ Network can help you take the first steps. To raise your energy awareness and reduce your energy bills, too, sign up for one of our two Eco-Home Tours this month: Sunday, October 4th or Sunday, October 18th from 4:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M.
 Our experienced tour guides will explain all the products, systems and procedures that make Eco-Home energy efficient and water conserving; and answer your questions about integrating these systems into your own home and yard. You'll learn about solar energy, saving money on heating bills with insulation and weather stripping and protecting your health with non-toxic/biodegradable cleaning products. The tour includes the Eco-Home, itself, and the Eco-Home xeriscape and organic orchard and food garden. The tour is conducted by the Eco-Home Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on how to make lifestyle choices that protect the environment and improve quality of life. The Eco-Home is located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Call 323-662-5207 for reservation and directions. Requested donation for the tour is $10 per person. Please make your reservations by the Friday before the tour. For more information, visit our website at ecohome.org
