Solarize the Gorge
Date: Thursday, March 25th at 6 pm
Location: Cebu Lounge, Hood River Inn
Columbia Gorge Earth Center invites Gorge residents, business owners, government and nonprofits to Green Drinks, a monthly networking event for people interested in sustainability issues. This month, we will discuss a bulk purchasing model being used across the country to help homeowners purchase solar panels for their homes.
Jaimes Valdez, Renewable Energy Specialist for the City of Portland (and a member of CG Earth Center board of directors), Tim O'Neal from SE Uplift, and Jonathan Cohen from ImaginEnergy will provide insight from their work on Solarize Portland -which helped Portland residents overcome the logistical hurdles of installing solar powered at home. For more information visit www.solarizeportland.org .
Who to hire? What to buy? What to budget? Where to start? With Solarize Portland, interested neighbors are joining forces to conquer the pick, purchase and install process as a team.
At this Green Drinks event, meet other Gorge residents looking to install solar on their home and connect with local installers who can demystify the process. Thanks to Cebu Lounge for hosting: www.hoodriverinn.com/mainsite/cebu.htm .
