Explore Burlingame's Climate Action Plan
- Enroll in ECO100 - ECO100, Peninsula Clean Energy's 100% renewable electricity rate, is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and purchase renewable energy.
- Try a commute alternative. Cars are the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in the Bay Area. Try alternatives to driving to work like biking, carpooling, and transit.
- Explore electric vehicles (EV) and take advantage of EV rebates and benefits. PG&E is offering $500 Clean Fuel Rebate for EVs. California offers up to $7,000 in EV rebates.
- Waste less, recycle more. Choose reusable over disposable, such as reusable water bottles over plastic bottles; reusable bags over plastic bags; and purchase products with minimal packaging. Aim for zero waste by composting and recycling as much as possible. Take our waste quiz to test your recycling knowledge.
- Recycle e-waste. Thrown away e-waste pollutes the environment and wastes precious metals that can be reused. Take your e-waste to Green Citizen or other drop-off services to recycle anything that plugs in or runs on batteries.
- Be water efficient. Update your toilet. Use low-flow showerheads and sink aerators. Use drought-tolerant landscaping. Check for broken sprinkler heads. Wash full loads of laundry. Check for leaks.
- Be energy efficient. Switch to LED lights. Insulate and weatherize your home. Use efficient appliances. Turn off the lights and gadgets not in use.
