    (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) A luncheon speaker will discuss how to master the new Google Shopping for ecommerce on June 13 at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Rancho Cucamonga.  It is open to the public and registration begins at 11:30AM.

     
    The presentation by Andrew David,  “How To Make Google Shopping Work,” is directed at marketing managers, agencies, business owners, paid search managers and ecommerce managers who control ecommerce websites.  It is sponsored by the Inland Empire Chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF).
     
    Davis is the author of Merchant Comparison Shopping Handbook, the first handbook on comparison shopping engines for online retailers.  He is also a columnist for Search Engine Watch.
     
    At CPC Strategy in San Diego, Davis is a marketing manager who focuses on full service comparison shopping for online retailers.  He was previously an account consultant to enterprise online retailers and marketing agencies.  His presentation will explain questions that should be asked before launching an online ecommerce campaign.
     
    “If you are involved with marketing an ecommerce website, you should attend this luncheon,” said John McCarthy, Vice President of the local ad club.  “Google Shopping replaced Google Products and today has fewer retailers than before, which means less competition.  But optimizing your campaigns is the key to success.  Come learn how to design your strategy at this luncheon.”
     
    Early bird registration is $20 for ad club members and the general public before June 7.  After that, the cost is $25 for members and $30 for the public.  To register online, visit https://www.runmyclub.com/aafie/eventcalendar.asp or http://aaf-inlandempire.com/  The Old Spaghetti Factory is located at 11886 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga.

    Political and Community Leaders, and Senator Richard D. Roth join GRID Alternatives IE to celebrate Earth Day 2013 at Solar Install and Open House!

    Earth Day cropped.49a6fe6ac02458bc32e0288f567c1a5a307
    (Jurupa Valley, CA)  GRID Alternatives Inland Empire held its Earth Day Installation and Open House on Friday, April 19, 2013 attracting a veritable who’s who of distinguished political leaders and representatives from the California Congress, Assembly and Senate.
     
    Local elected officials from City of Jurupa Valley City Council, as well as community leaders also joined in this historic day. GRID Alternatives is a non-profit organization that brings the benefits of solar power to low-income communities. The event gave attendees the opportunity to see first-hand how GRID Alternatives makes every day Earth Day by witnessing a solar system being placed on the roof, the impact of job trainees receiving invaluable workforce development at no cost, and the hardworking and deserving family who will save on their electric bill while positively contributing to the environment.
     
    To commemorate this landmark event State Senator Richard D. Roth from the Thirty-First Senate District attended and was the special guest speaker! “I am grateful for the opportunity to see the teamwork and commitment of GRID Alternatives during the solar panel installation in Jurupa Valley. It is very impressive to see the work GRID Alternatives is doing throughout Inland Southern California and what solar energy is doing to save working families money through lower energy bills. GRID Alternatives helps create excellent partnerships to build strong families and communities throughout our region and throughout California.”
     
    The event provided the opportunity to share the success story of past volunteer and team leader, Carmen Valles, who as a result of the “classroom on the roof” workforce development experience, was able to be hired on full time within the Solar Industry and proudly declared, “they helped me re-invent myself from a ex-bank executive to a fully rounded solar employee. Carmen also shared with the crowd, “Grid Alternatives I. E. is known for reducing one of the most expensive utility bills, electricity, but at the same time they are simultaneously training an army of Solar Installers.”
     
    Also in attendance from the Sixtieth District, where the Habitat for Humanity Home is located, was AssemblyMember Eric Linder and Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Riverside, Karin Roberts. Joining them were representatives from AssemblyMember Cheryl Brown of the Forty-Seventh District, Congressman Mark Takano of the Forty-first district, The California Public Utilities Commission, and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians.
     
    The Earth Day Event installed a 3.2 kW solar electric system which will generate more than 170,000 kWh of clean, renewable energy over the system’s lifetime. This equals over $29,800 in total savings for the family. In addition, 101 tons of greenhouse gas emissions will be prevented over the systems’ lifetimes, equivalent to planting 2,365 trees.
     
    This solar installation was made possible in part by a grant from the S.L. Gimbel Foundation Advised Fund at the Community Foundation serving the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino.

    (Redlands, CA) – Do you have old electronics cluttering up your home? Habitat for Humanity will host an event to help you get rid of them responsibly – absolutely free of charge.
     
    Habitat for Humanity is teaming up with All Green Electronics Recycling to host an electronic recycling event on Saturday, February 9, 2013 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, 25948 Business Center Dr. in Redlands.
     
    “The event is free and open to anyone who is interested in disposing their e-waste in a safe and secure environment. Plus, everyone who recycles e-waste will receive one free raffle ticket! Raffle prizes from the ReStore stock will be given out all day,” said Rhea Stumm, manager of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
     
    What is e-waste? That old laptop in your hall closet, that VCR you haven’t used since you got the new DVD player, the dust-covered monitor in your garage, or basically anything with a plug that is unused, obsolete or non-working.
     
    E-waste contains heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, and zinc that contaminate our soil and water, and is responsible for 70 percent of all heavy metals found in landfills today. A recent report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says e-waste in landfills will grow four-fold over the next five years.
     
    “All Green Electronics Recycling strives to make responsible electronics recycling easy and efficient. We are a full-service electronics recycler,” said Arman Sadeghi, founder and CEO of All Green Electronics Recycling.
     
    All Green Electronics Recycling currently collects over one million pounds of electronics each month and has the capacity to process up to 100 million pounds of electronic waste per year.
     
    According to Sadeghi, all of the electronics All Green Electronics Recycling collects are processed in North America using their processing center and other responsible recycler partner facilities.  “All Green recycles everything they accept and never send anything overseas for processing.”
     

    For those that cannot make it to the event the ReStore accepts e-waste Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 25948 Business Center Drive in Redlands, CA 92374.

    For those that cannot make it to the event the ReStore accepts e-waste Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 25948 Business Center Drive in Redlands, CA 92374.

    “Once electronics are in hand, our model is set up so that we follow the reduce, reuse, recycle method,” says Sadeghi. “If there are components that are able to be reused then we do that.”
    Sadeghi estimates that about 40 percent of the All Green’s inbound material stream is reused while the remaining 60 percent enters All Green’s end-of-life recycling system.
     
    For your protection the internal memory and hard drives in all computers, cell phones, copy machines, fax machines and printers are shredded or triple wiped.
     
    For hard drives that can be sold to the reuse market, All Green uses “triple-pass and seven-pass hard drive wipes,” says Sadeghi. “Those are very secure and can be almost as secure as shredding. The drive is hooked up to a machine and it erases and rewipes the disk several times,” he explains. “The reason for the seven passes is that many years ago the Department of Defense (DOD) stated that’s what they felt was necessary, and it has stuck.”
     
    Habitat for Humanity encourages community and businesses to clean out their garage, storage or attic and donate their old electronics to a good cause.
     
    “Bring all of your old electronics to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, including: computers, monitors, televisions, printers, mobile phones, laptops, DVD players, VCRs, microwaves, calculators, iPods, cables and wires, telephones, fax machines, scanners, computer parts, and more,” said Stumm.
     
    For those that cannot make it to the event the ReStore accepts e-waste Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 25948 Business Center Drive in Redlands, CA 92374.
