If you live in the Bay Area and are interested in delivering efficient forms of energy to low income home owners, consider volunteering for Oakland-based GRID Alternatives.
According to their website, "[GRID Alternatives has] installed 151 solar electric systems for low-income families throughout Northern and Southern California. These systems are reducing each family’s electric bills by approximately 75%, which will translate to a total of over $2.49 million in energy cost savings over the systems’ projected life spans. They will also prevent roughly 7,555 tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years, the equivalent of planting 10,544 trees."
Great stuff. But there's also a benefit to you, as a volunteer. You're making a meaningful impact on your community as well as the environment, and you'll pick up cool, hands-on solar electric installation experience.
