It is with great anticipation that I launch this new blog! On Monday, I will join six individuals from around the world to begin a nine-month internship program at the Solar Living Institute in Hopland, California - located about 90 miles north of San Francisco in Mendocino County. The SLI provides hands-on, practical training opportunities in renewable energy design and installation, sustainable building practices and construction methods, and organic farming/gardening techniques. I look forward to getting my hands dirty in each of these areas, while thoroughly exploring a region that has been on the cutting edge of clean energy production and green job creation for several years.
This blog will function as a visual diary of my experience living and working at the Solar Living Institute. I look forward to sharing my discoveries with you along the way -- how to install a solar panel on your roof, how to build an energy efficient home, or how to brew your own beer. If I can do it, anyone can!
Looking forward to hearing all about your new adventure! It sounds like an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteI looked at the photos on their website and wow! It's a fantasy land come true. Who wouldn't love a solar powered merry-go-round? Have an amazing time! An appropriate parting song...
