Window Repair & Retrofit: Studies + Research
The WINDOW PRESERVATION STANDARDS COLLABORATIVE was conceived.Using cutting-edge window testing technology, the Collaborative's tests are verifying "what most people in historic preservation have known for years, old and historic windows can cost effectively be made as or more energy efficient than new, disposable replacement windows." The Collaborative recently published a manual for the assessment and preservation of historic wood windows, reviewed below.
"Window Preservation Standards" Available
The national Window Preservation Standards book catalogs specific methods for the assessment, maintenance, repair, preservation and weatherization of older and historic wooden windows. Many detailed methods, procedures and materials are included, as well as basic strategies for saving older and historic windows.
The Standards were developed and written by more than 100 window specialists who collaborated from all across the United States and Canada.
Topics include the Window Preservation Standards Collaborative, guiding principles for window preservation work, window part names and definitions, organizing and planning window preservation projects, and how to use the Standards.
Methods include surveying and assessing conditions, glazing, painting, wood repairs, weatherization updates, storm windows and maintenance with many more. Each treatment standard has a brief description of a specific method with appropriate use, a step-by-step procedure that shows what is done and materials are listed. A special section describes how to judge the character of the completed work with easy observations and simple tests to assure the best quality work.
The results of energy performance testing done at the 2011 National Window Preservation Summit are included. It confirms what is already known:  Save the primary sash and frame, add weatherstripping and a storm to make the window meet or exceed current performance standards for air infiltration. All the details are in the book, including which energy upgrade methods worked best.
The Window Preservation Standards book is a non-profit project done in partnership with the Preservation Trades Network, Kentucky Heritage Council and Kentucky Preservation. Ordering information can be found here.

冬季安全提示
僅使用安全的替代熱源，例如壁爐，通風良好的小木材或煤爐或便攜式空間加熱器。 始終遵循製造商的指示。
使用壁爐或木爐等替代熱源時，請務必確保您有適當的通風。 讓窗簾、毛巾和隔熱墊遠離高溫表面。 有一個滅火器和煙霧探測器，並確保它們正常工作。

FAQs • Plastic Bags - Environmental Impact
Plastic bags can only be recycled through the State's "In-Store" Recycling Program, where approximately 5% to 10% of bags are recycled. Unfortunately, recycling equipment cannot take plastic bags and in fact become jammed in conventional recycling equipment. 

2.
What happens to plastic bags if they end up in the garbage?

Plastic bags that end up in the garbage are transported to a nearby landfill. Plastic bags that stay in place will take at least 500 years to photo degrade, especially if they are buried deep beneath debris. Unfortunately many of the bags that are dumped in the landfill blow away and are caught in the fencing surrounding landfills such as Keller Canyon in Pittsburg. The cost to remove these bags is incurred by trash and recycling ratepayers. 

3.
What is the Town of Danville doing to encourage the use of reusable bags?

In an effort to promote the use of reusable bags in Danville retail establishments, the Town is distributing 10,000 reusable shopping bags free of charge to local residents. These bags will be distributed through the Danville Farmers' Market on Saturdays and other special events. The reusable bags are part of an economic development effort and feature the Shop Danville brand, reminding residents to shop locally.

PLANT DEBRIS LANDFILL BAN ORDINANCE
 This ordinance applies to certain businesses and institutions and requires plant debris be separated and composted. Alameda County law prohibits disposal of plant debris in county landfills. Plant Debris Landfill Ban Ordinance requires landscape professionals, residents and businesses to separate all plant debris from garbage. Those subscribing to 4 or more cubic yards of weekly on-site garbage service must place plant debris in the designated “organics” bin, and those who haul to their local facility must deposit plant debris in the disposal facility’s designated “clean green” area. Plant debris includes grass, leaves, shrubbery, vines and tree branches.
 This law applies to any person or organization generating significant amounts of plant debris that hauls the material to Alameda County disposal facilities or places the material in bins for collection, including:

Commercial and institutional (e.g. colleges, hospitals, park districts, golf courses) customers subscribing to 4 or more cubic yards of weekly solid waste collection service.
Landscapers and gardeners
Municipalities

The Plant Debris Landfill Ban Ordinance covers all cities
and unincorporated areas in Alameda County.
City of Piedmont Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling FAQ 
More information on Piedmont Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling here. 
 Projects required by the California Green Building Standards (all newly constructed residential buildings and projects increasing the building's conditioned area, volume, or size) having a building permit valuation greater than or equal to $50,000 are required to divert at least 65% of the debris generated by the project from going to a landfill. This includes all construction, demolition and/or renovation projects within the City. Although not required, the City encourages projects with a valuation of less than $50,000 to recycle at least 65% of the debris generated.
 Q: Are there any additional City fees associated with these requirements?

Love Our New York Lands - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

Bring plenty of water, a jacket and layers in case of changing weather, and a map so you know the route.
Travel on Durable Surfaces: Follow blazes and stick to established trails. Walking off trail can create unwanted paths, cause erosion, and damage plants.
Dispose of Waste Properly: Pack out what you pack in. Keep our outdoor spaces clean and don't leave behind any trash, food, or pet waste.
Leave What You Find: Leave rocks, plants and other objects as you find them for the next person to enjoy.
Minimize Campfire Impacts: Fires are not allowed outside campgrounds in State Parks. When camping at a designated site, keep fires small and consider a backpacking stove for cooking.
Respect Wildlife: Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow, approach, or feed wild animals. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Be Considerate of Other Visitors: Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience. Avoid loud noises and let nature's sounds prevail. Say hello, be courteous and share the trail!
