Sherman Oaks, CA

In an attempt to unite local eco advocates, Ewing and Associates Sotheby’s International Realty hosted an eco-workshop with the help of actor and visionary Ed Begley Jr. Showing up by way of bicycle, Begley stopped by the Sherman Oaks real estate office to share a few enlightening words regarding the ease and necessity of harnessing green energy in today’s economy.

Eco company Blu Homes, REAS, Cyber Rain and Environmental Solar Design were also in attendance for an evening complete with light fair and wine. Each vendor spoke for roughly 20 minutes and held an insightful session of Q and A. Led by Ewing and Associates’ manger Jeff Biebuyck, also affiliated with Blu Homes, the event hosted approximately 40 environmentally minded guests. From local business owners, former musicians and select real estate agents, all attendees received the opportunity to speak directly with educated representatives of the green movement.

Mr. Begley, a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative, briefly spoke about his journey towards embrace a green lifestyle. A native to the San Fernando Valley, he mentioned his young adult days of putting money aside to make more sustainable choices. Taking public transportation, bike riding, recycling and investing in key initiatives to update his first residence with the latest eco options were just some of his insightful tips. Additionally, he spoke in length about REAS (Residential Energy Assessment Services), as they worked closely with Begley on his latest residential green upgrade.

The event was followed by an informative period of casual networking and further details regarding the scope of each company’s service.

Join the Walk on the Wild Side

By: Roger Ewing

Calabasas residents know the overwhelming amount of wildlife that live just outside our homes. We live in a city replete with coyotes, rattlesnakes, hawks, owls, rabbits and deer. However, our native friends are often sick, injured, and orphaned, especially now during baby season.

This year, join the WOWS program on a 5K walk along Zuma Beach. All proceeds go directly towards helping our native wildlife recover from sickness, injuries or abandonment.

Last year, more than 300 Walkers registered online; there were 29 “wild” teams and 226 people donated online in support of participants. The event features a 5K (approximately three miles) beach walk that begins and ends at Zuma Beach.

All particpants will get a FREE Walk t-shirt if registered online by Friday, May 6. Online registrations will be accepted through Friday, May 13; after that, you may register at the Zuma Beach site on Walk Day for $40/adults and $25/youth (12 and under).

Event details and registration information can also be found on the WOWS website.
