Ellen and Michael Peters of Robesonia Pennsylvania have had enough with how we are polluting our environment. They do not want to be dependent any longer on imported foreign fuel, and they no longer want to burn fossil fuels to generate electricity. They are tired of waiting around for the government to fix our energy problem and are taking things into their own hands. So Ellen and Michael installed a solar power system on the roof of their house in Robesonia Pennsylvania. Their PV system is a 5.67kw system that was installed by the company groSolar and that will generate all the electricity they need to power their house. With this system Ellen and Michael are generating clean renewable energy from the sun; they will never again have to pay a utility company that burns fossil fuel ever again for electricity. Ellen and Michael are being responsible and doing their part to offset their carbon footprint by installing their solar power system. Solar power is just one way to reduce your carbon footprint; there are many other ways to do this. There actually is a Pennsylvania Renewable Energy and Sustainable Living Festival happening in Kempton, PA starting on September 17th that goes through September 19^th. This is a great opportunity to learn about other renewable energy options, and how to live a more sustainable lifestyle. For more information about the Pennsylvania Renewable Energy and Sustainable Living Festival and its events go to http://www.paenergyfest.com/index.shtml. This is a great way to learn how you can lower your carbon footprint, and how to live a lifestyle where humans and nature benefit each other and sustain each other for a long period of time; rather than a lifestyle where humans dominate and exploit nature for short returns.
