The Home Inspection Road Show (on an Xtracycle)
Almost 2 years ago, we profiled Jay Marlette, who had decided to make his home inspection business greener by adding an Xtracycle to the mix. As you can see from our photos and video, this wasn’t a small commitment. The ladder is longer than the Xtracycle!
When people make a shift like this, it’s natural to wonder how things worked out. So guess who I ran into the other day just as he was wrapping up a home inspection:
Two years later and he’s still going strong! A lot of people can say they’ve gone green, but when you see Jay riding around town hauling that ladder, you know he’s walking the talk.
Some things need to be seen to be believed, so if you want to check out Jay’s geared-up Xtracycle and ask him about his experiences in going green via bike, both Jay and his ride will be at the Berkeley Earth Day celebration this Saturday, April 23rd (12-5pm, Civic Center Park). As part of the Earth Day celebration, Jay will be fielding general home questions and can also offer advice on ways to make your home more energy efficient.
The Earth Day celebration will have free valet bike parking (which we love to hear). For complete event details, click here.
