The TV is solar powered. So are all the rest of the electrical appliances, except for the clothes dryer. That is just solar; I think my ma called it a clothesline. I've got a picture somewhere (old photo, B4 digital,so I can't show you) with about 50 diapers (yeah, real cloth), hanging up to dry.
Coach Nature sez practice and chalk talks are over. She sez she will let you be the manager and hand out towels while you talk.
One of my neighbors and my son's in-laws just went solar. That's cuz one of us spent some time jawboning them,and showing them the rebate program. Same for Joyce; one of us found rebates for her commercial kitchen. One of us is a member of his town's sustainable group. And, I've heard it told, one of us dragged a solar contractor to a sustainable meeting, and then got them to reduce their prices for locals in order to compete with my contractor.
I don't know how much our discussions motivated my buddy Tim to write this, Message 22577381 ,
but when I posted it on the Oil Drum, at least 6 people went out and bought bulbs. Since one of those bulbs saves 500 lbs of coal, one of us just saved,at a minimum, 3 tons of coal from going into the air. And, if they decide in a few years that Katrina was made worse by global warming, one of us went down to New Orleans and helped America's first GW refugees.
I don't just talk the talk, or walk the walk; I run the marathon. |
