— from the San Juans Conservation District —

Kids — and grown-ups too! — learn about solar power at the Energy Fair 2014

Join us Saturday June 6th for the second annual Energy Fair and Solar Home Tour. The Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Village Green in Eastsound and the Solar Home Tour starts at 1 p.m. Sign-ups are recommended – space is limited as this was a popular event last year.

The Energy Fair is a family-friendly event that has something for everyone, from giveaways and electric car rides for adults, to solar crafts and activities for kids. Highlights include a solar home tour, electric cars, and hands-on energy saving activities. Receive a free energy kit and learn how to track your energy use at home.

Have you wondered about solar electricity and how it might work on your home? Are you curious how much a solar electric system could save you on your electric bill? Here is a perfect opportunity to view two different Orcas Island homes, visit the new Community Solar for our Schools installation at the Orcas Island High School and speak with them about their experiences with their solar electric systems. Listen as each homeowner talks about their decision to invest in renewable energy and why they feel it was a good decision for their family. Share in open and insightful conversation around concerns for the environment, reducing your carbon footprint and energy efficiency measures.

Come on along and join us for this Orcas Island Solar Home Tour! Call the San Juan Islands Conservation District at 378-6621 or email energy@sjislandscd.org to reserve your spot today!
