About the Open House
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network will once again open to the
public Maryland's only 95-percent renewable energy household on
Saturday, September 22nd from 1pm - 5pm. The home, owned by Mike
Tidwell of Takoma Park, is equipped with energy-efficient appliances
and light bulbs, and is powered by photovoltaic solar panels, a
solar hot-water system, and a corn-burning home-heating stove.
The house has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and TV and
radio stations (including NPR) all across the United States and
Europe, and was recently featured on the Voice of America all across
the world. One of the most newsworthy aspects of the home is the
fact that all of these energy changes were made for the cost of just
a cup of coffee a day!
Come learn how you, too, can affordably reduce your home fossil fuel
use by 50-90 percent and so help fight global warming. As a special
feature, we'll also have two hybrid cars and an electric truck for
you to view and learn about their affordable, climate-protecting
features. And as a new feature, we'll show you how to landscape your
yard with native plants and water them with rain barrels that catch
rooftop runoff.
Plus, there will be a solar food cooker on display (free solar-baked
cookies) and we'll be selling energy-saving compact fluorescent
light bulbs for a big discount. We'll also have lots of free
literature on the rising threat of global warming and steps you can
take to help save the planet.
WHAT: A tour of the first home in Maryland/Virginia/DC powered
almost entirely by renewable energy and landscaped with native
plants.
