JAN 19: OPEN HOUSE
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network will once again open to the public Maryland's only 95-percent renewable energy household on Saturday, January 19th from 1pm - 5pm. The home, owned by Mike Tidwell of Takoma Park, is equipped with energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, and is powered by photovoltaic solar panels, a solar hot-water system, and a corn-burning home-heating stove.
The house has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and TV and radio stations (including NPR) all across the United States and Europe, and was recently featured on the Voice of America all across the world. One of the most newsworthy aspects of the home is the fact that all of these energy changes were made for the cost of just a cup of coffee a day!
Come learn how you, too, can affordably reduce your home fossil fuel use by 50-90 percent and so help fight global warming. As a special feature, we'll also have two hybrid cars and an electric truck for you to view and learn about their affordable, climate-protecting features. And as a new feature, we'll show you how to landscape your yard with native plants and water them with rain barrels that catch rooftop runoff.
Plus, there will be a solar food cooker on display (free solar-baked cookies) and we'll be selling energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs for a big discount. We'll also have lots of free literature on the rising threat of global warming and steps you can take to help save the planet.
Sponsored by the Chesapeake Climate Action Network and Chesapeake Native Nursery. Free admission to all ages.
