What You Need to Know
Description:
Off Grid PV Our house was just included in a book entitled Thoreau's Legacy, published by Penguin, initiated by the Union of Concerned Scientists. To read more about our house, you can look at the book's website. The eBook version of the anthology is now available on the Penguin Classics home page - http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pages/classics/index.html - as well as from several digital bookstores. We believe that every step that any one of us makes toward living more sustainably is very significant. We love to talk with people at the open house about the many different ways we can make a positive difference. Please bring your ideas! We love hearing them!
