I Say, Here Comes The Sun

Energy this, sustainability that. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Green. Activism. Global warming. The Omnivore’s Dilemma. These discussions and more abound throughout homes and communities the world over, but what are we REALLY doing to make a difference?

And what about the growing popularity of residential solar energy utilization?

When I met Chuck Cooper at Bonnaroo, founder of Solus International, he was so kind to explain how, for anyone and everyone living in America today, the benefits of solar energy are innumerable and immeasurable. Oh, how I long for the materialization of my personal dream of sustainable living! For now, the best I can do is share what I learn with you, my friends and associates, and hope that you’ll investigate smarter ways of existing. Some day I will have the funds and support to make my own organic, green and earth-friendly dreams come true. At least I am not alone in the meantime! Definitely watch this clip. What he is showing us are the possibilities within our reach as a society and how to use them to help others. Although the PV he is in is portable, this application can be used to provide electricity for homes as well.

And the mission of Solusinternational.org:

“Solus International, Inc. recognizes the enormous synergies and benefits that occur when business principles are unified with social ventures.

We look to a time when every household in the world, rural and urban, on the grid and off the grid, will have access to a clean and reliable source of electricity as well as a time when energy (or the lack thereof) will not be a contributing factor to the loss of lives during natural disasters.

To achieve this, Solus International, Inc. plans on becoming an international paradigm for the relief of global suffering brought about by energy deficits in isolated communities, through the use of mobile, solar-powered technology and a community-based, sustainable approach. As well as becoming the global supplier of mobile solar-power for use during disaster relief.”
