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, March 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.
WHEN: Saturday, March 22, 1- 5pm
