This spring, in celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) offers online tools, energy-efficiency products and a variety of programs to help customers become stewards of the environment. And throughout the month of April, PG&E takes part in open-to-the-public events around our service area where activities will range from tree plantings to downtown cleanups.
"Promoting a healthy environment is fundamental to PG&E's mission, and we believe the best place to start is by working with our customers to help them find ways to use less energy, less water, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said PG&E Chief Sustainability Officer Melissa Lavinson.
PG&E invites San Jose customers to join us for an Arbor Day Weekend Tree Giveaway. PG&E is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation Energy-Saving Trees program to provide 600 trees free to customers and help reduce energy use through strategic tree planting. The event takes place from 8:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on both Friday, April 29, and Saturday, April 30 at Emma Prusch Farm Park. Customers will have the opportunity to log in to the online tool to reserve a tree, locate their house, and determine the best place to plant the tree on their property in order to save energy and money.
