It will have been 15 years to the day on Oct. 21 since the largest and most destructive fire in Oakland history swept through the hills, killing 25 and destroying 3,400 homes. To commemorate those who died as well as the area's renaissance since that time, the city will hold a "Carrying the Spirit Forward" remembrance ceremony that day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the BART Rockridge station. Color guards, a drum line, fire engines, music, food, and family wildfire prevention activities will be featured. Go here for more information.

Change a Light,
Change the World
The Department of Energy's "Change a Light" campaign was recently launched, which asks DOE employees to replace one home light bulb with a 13-watt Energy Star qualified bulb, also known as a compact fluorescent bulb. By taking this step, households could save more than $30 in energy costs over the lifetime of the bulb. DOE's Office of Science has set a goal of 14,000 employees pledging to change one light bulb each by the end of November. Reaching this goal can make a significant impact on the environment, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save more than 6.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. Take the pledge here. Read about the program here.
