Good Morning Everyone!
Since I'm the webmaster for the Sustainability Club i'm in charge of keeping our web presence up to date. What I feel would be a good way of doing that, is with this new segment; Our Last Meeting or OLM for short. The posts will be equipped with both tags for ease of searching. Our clubs are weekly, Tuesdays at 12:30 in the Architecture lab D330 at LATTC campus. I will do my best to get these posts out the day of, but as you can see here, I may be a little late at times. In this I will bring to you some of the points of discussion that arose, the pictures we captured, and the progress we've made. I don't have any particular format yet so bear with me!
OLM: 10.23.2012
About a week ago, our Treasurer John Snelling, reached out to this company that he had previously worked with, and invited them to come speak to our club. Grid Alternatives, whose main dedication is bringing Solar Electric Energy Panels to single family, low-income housing. Working year-round, they have already installed panels for +2,500 homes, which in turn saves the families over $62 Million during it's lifetime, which ultimately prevents over 214,000 Tons of Green House Gasses from being produced. With over 11,000 people trained, Grid Alternatives provides a means of developing the market by producing experienced workers to the void.
