Hometown Heroes: The Rekart-Valenzuela Family
These Heroes decided to become a solar family in order to save money on energy and become more earth-friendly. The Rekart-Valenzuela family installed solar panels, solar yard lights, solar pool rings, energy efficient lighting, and even picked up some LED Christmas lights. As a perk, their break-even date is sooner than they expected. Solar helps the family feel better about the kind of world they're are leaving the next generation.
Are you a Hometown Hero? How do you go green? If you or someone you know has a story to tell or tip to share, please email Challenge@coolcalifornia.org. We’ll highlight a Hometown Hero in each newsletter. |
