01/13/2008: "Free Renewable Energy Workshop Thursday"

Rainshadow Solar and the San Juan Islands Conservation District are sponsoring a free evening presentation January 17, 2008 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm at The Funhouse, on "Local Green Power - Renewable Energy for San Juan County”.

The workshop is intended to help the public take action toward reducing their carbon footprint with conservation efforts, efficiency, and the use of renewable items and components. Information for new and existing local green power producers will be provided, and it is hoped the information will inspire the start up of a branch of the San Juan County Renewable Energy Producers Cooperative.

A new proposal to cover the Funhouse with Photovoltaics will also be presented, and Funhouse Director Pete Moe said he is "excited The Funhouse will be working with Eric and the community on sustainability related projects and education, because it's the responsible way forward."
