Check out photos from this year’s energy oscars here: 2010 Energy Oscars
A wonderful night was had by all who attended – Ed Begley Jr. lit up the night with star power and some great comedy, the food from Greens Restaurant (sponsored by the San Francisco Zen Center) was amazing and we enjoyed wine by Jax Vineyards. We had a wonderful time meeting people from around the state who are passionate about energy efficiency and responding to climate change.
