UWSP makes national news for being "Green"!

This is a post of an article in the Saturday, February 28th Stevens Point Buyers Guide www.spcitytimes.com . It states "The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has been named one of 17 "amazing green college campuses" in the country. The list, which is compiled by the environment e-magazine Mother Nature Network, credits the school's waste Education Center as having helped the campus recycle 515 tons of material in 2014."
It also goes on to mention the waste-water treatment plant, a green roof, solar hot water panels (I've learned that the proper label is "Modules" for an individual collector and that several modules form an "Array"), rain gardens and a local campus garden that provides over 150 pounds of food to local food pantries.
It ends with saying that California, Illinois and some campuses on the East Coast also made the list and that UWSP was the only campus in Wisconsin to make the list.
Congratulations UWSP!

There was a very interesting email from Renewable Energy Program's Tool Truck. I think the message is worth sharing and talking about. Here's the message:  "PDM Solar has a product that uses solar thermal to run a vapor-compression cooling system.  In other words, the product delivers cooling from solar heat."
PDM has a website: http://pdmsolar.com and talks about this development. To me, this is awesome! Producing something from our summer sun and heat besides electricity and is something we all use during those hot times just added a new dimension to the solar industry.
As I continue to blog about my solar ideas and items of interests, I hope you find the articles interesting and informative. I would also like input on how marketable some of my ideas are.
Here's to sunny days with a cool breeze!
