Energy II Moment

This segment is about going solar. Utne suggests doing this in 'baby steps' as well.

Start by going to a mega store near you and looking at what is now available for home improvement. There is a 5 wqtt solar starter kit for gate or garage opening and motion detector solar lighting.

Then there are solar powered cascading lawn fountains. How nice that would be to sit on your patio or deck and enjoy the refreshing, relaxing sounds of the water.

Utne suggests trying out solar powered iPod chargers or solar recharging backpacks for things like cell phones and PDAs.

A retail company called Sun-dance Solar offers ideas for increasing your solar capacity (store.sundancesolar.com). they offer starter kits and ways to solarize your rv. I am sure there are other companies you will be able to find on the net. Happy hunting.
