The Gardiner School is Now Making Power from the Sun!

The Photovoltaic system at the Gardiner School is up and running as of about 3 pm today, Earth Day - April 22, 2009. By 4 PM the first kilowatt-hour had been produced, and used, by the school. Over the 25 year guaranteed life of the panels we expect close to 70 megawatts of power. The project was kicked off by a grant written by Aubree Durfey back in the fall of 2007. Much effort by many good people made this all happen. Kudos to Aubree, the Greening Gardiner Committee, the Gardiner School and… Continue

Bear Creek Council Newsletter - February 2009

President’s Message – Carolyn Duckworth We live in Wonderland, and we all know what that says about Yellowstone. But it also speaks well for Montana. We live in one of the few states where democracy works so clearly, and where individuals can make such a difference. I still believe that, I still participate—even when I am bitterly disappointed. We did not succeed in moving HB 253 out of committee, but we learned a lot trying—and we’ll kept trying. When I lived in Virginia, I felt powe… Continue
