Solarfest!



This past weekend the team headed down to beautiful Tinmouth, Vermont for the 16th annual Solarfest, a three day long extravaganza to celebrate "power of positive energy." In addition to having everything you would expect from a sun festival (morning yoga, contra dances, vegan food, dreadlocks), Solarfest attracted politicians, solar companies, green builders and climate rockstars like Bill McKibben.



Solarfest also marked the debut of the Race to Replace Voter Registration Tricycle. While it's not the easiest thing to ride (read: no brakes), the trike is certainly eye-catching and a lot of people came wandering over to see exactly what we were up to. The really loud bicycle horn probably helped here as well. We met some really awesome folks from around the state and we're stoked to work with them in the future.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...dun dun dun... Clean energy offs! Okay, maybe you haven't been waiting for it and maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about. Watch the video and then you will understand. Don't worry, it wasn't a one-time-deal. This WILL go down again and if you check out our calender and come hang out with us at an event you too can have your moment in the spotlight as spray foam insulation or, if you're really really lucky, rhubarb.



love in the sun,

the race to replace team.

p.s Wear sunscreen. Especially if the first aid tent is giving it away for free. Wear it. Don't be dumb.
