Switching to an electric or hybrid vehicle helps reduce fossil fuel emissions directly from your tailpipe as well as from the import of petroleum. Using more energy efficient vehicles like hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles is an important part of continuing this successful trend of minimizing imported petroleum.


Although energy costs for hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles are generally lower for similar conventional vehicles, purchase prices can be higher. Initial costs can be offset by fuel cost savings, a federal tax credit, and state and utility incentives. Some states and utilities also offer incentives.

While you may think you save water by washing your own car, commercial car washes actually conserve a lot more water. In fact, most commercial car washes use 60% less water to clean your entire car compared to only rinsing (not even cleaning) your car at home.


Commercial car washes save water because many of them use two types of recycling systems—100% closed-loop systems and partial recycle systems. Closed-loop systems recycle 100% of the water used to wash and rinse your car, and partial systems recycle only the wash water.


Besides recycling the water, commercial car washes also have absorption systems that prevent the chemical-filled water from traveling into storm drains. When you wash your car at home, the soapy water trickles into nearby drains that lead directly to lakes, rivers, and other waterways. This tainted water can then harm marine wildlife and water quality.

The main cities of the SF Peninsula

The region commonly known as “The Peninsula" (San Mateo County) is a string of suburbs and charming towns linked together by El Camino Real, the old "Royal Road." The coastal area is truly gorgeous and offers small town life, with easy access to big-city amenities.



The Peninsula is filled with a number of shopping centers, plazas, and tree-lined main streets notable for their pleasant cafes, boutiques, restaurants, and neighborhood stores. The moderate year-round climate, neighborly communities, abundant recreational activities, excellent regional transportation (Caltrain), and some of the best schools in California makes the Peninsula a desirable place to live.


San Mateo

A mid-Peninsula city, San Mateo offers a wide variety of housing and shopping opportunities. The bustling downtown runs along 3rd and 4th Avenues, between El Camino and the Caltrain Station, with Central Park nearby. Hillsdale Mall is the regional shopping center with large department stores and smaller specialty shops. Gracious homes in San Mateo Park, residences with views in the hills, apartments close to downtown and the waterfront, and apartments on Mariner's Island, cover the gamut of housing opportunities in this city.


Redwood City

The seat of San Mateo County, Redwood City, has a diverse population, evident in its neighborhoods. Redwood City is primarily comprised of: a port on the bay, industrial sites, numerous apartments, modest single family homes and exclusive neighborhoods along Edgewood Road and Highway 280, with many with impressive views.


Burlingame

Burlingame is a charming town with two Caltrain stations and two commercial centers — Broadway, the smaller, traditional shopping district and Burlingame Avenue, a more upscale shopping area with a number of boutiques and restaurants. Housing options here include apartments and single-family homes on tree-lined streets near the shopping district, or luxury hillside residences.
