On October 3rd, over 150,000 people are slated to build a new solar landscape for America by participating in the non-profit American Solar Energy Society’s (ASES’) 14th Annual National Solar Tour, the world’s largest grassroots solar event. Is your community a part of this historic event? Shouldn't you be?
The National Solar Tour provides solar-interested citizens an opportunity to view the real-life energy solutions people in their communities are deploying to save money, assert their energy independence and help the environment. Last year, 140,000 people in 49 states participated.
“After decades of development and growing numbers of installations, solar energy solutions have moved into the mainstream,” said ASES Executive Director Brad Collins. “Solar prices are 30% lower than we saw a year ago. State and federal incentives are gaining steam, and a new awareness surrounding how solar cuts energy costs, creates green jobs and improves property values is emerging,” he said.
“From Main Street to rural retreats, the National Solar Tour is changing how everyday folks view their energy choices. The National Solar Tour is a catalyst that’s accelerating the use of solar energy and energy efficient practices across America,” Collins added.

this is a solution to many problems and is worth you time. you want to be part of the solution, here's a way to get started. educate yourself and become a supporter of this movement. live in an apartment, show your landlord what he can save and maybe he'll let you have a dog.

I'm going to check to see if there is anything going on near me, and I'm featuring this on the Solar Energy Group. Thanks for this. Feel free to post items about solar here anytime:
