A Tale of Two Cities Overcoming Economic
Obstacles, While Going Green
City of Santa Ana
What you will learn
 How practical business practices and solutions have been implemented to
overcome today’s economic challenges through environmental solutions.
 How fleets can partner with outsource solutions to implement successful
strategies using integrated solutions to create a more efficient, effective, and
the pursuit of grant funds.
“Think Outside the Box”
•
You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night,
when you pass by a bus stop that was in an accident and you see three people waiting near the
bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there
could only be one passenger in your car?
•
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part
of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is
going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take
the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be
the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able
to find your perfect mate again.
“Think Outside the Box”
•
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car
keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I
would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn
thought limitations.
Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'

Global Warming Act of 2006 –
AB 32, SB 375 and 2202
AB 32 requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt regulations
to require the reporting and verification of emissions of greenhouse
gases and to monitor and enforce compliance, and requires the
state board to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit
equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions levels in
1990 to be achieved by 2020.
SB 375 requires regions to adopt Sustainable Communities
Strategies in the Regional Transportation Plan for the purpose of
reducing greenhouse gases. It aligns transportation & housing.
AQMD Rule 2202 requires all companies with 100 and over
employees to determine employees driving behaviors and traffic
congestion.

Solar Projects
•

•
AB811 and AB118
Solar Power Partners
Energy Partner Programs
Assembly Bill (AB) 811 allows local government entities to offer
sustainable energy project loans to eligible property owners. Through
the creation of sustainable energy financing districts, property owners
can finance renewable onsite generation installations and energy
efficiency improvements through a voluntary assessment on their
individual property tax bills. The assessment district approach adds a
new and potentially powerful option to the clean energy finance
landscape
