UNDERHILL ENERGY NIGHT AND DAY
Energy NightHave you built a "twig stove" -- a lightweight wood gasifying camp stove made from a couple of metal cans? Did you write a research paper about recycling? Perhaps you know how to bake cookies using a pizza box, aluminum foil, bubble wrap and a bit of sunshine. Or, maybe you authored a pleasant poem about anaerobic digestion. You are invited to bring your energy project -- whatever it is -- to Energy Night, Friday, September 12 at the Underhill Town Hall.
Energy Night is a film fest, potluck supper and project display. It begins at 5:30 with some short animated films, "The Energy Carol" and "What on Earth".
At 6:00, we break for an hour of potluck and project demonstrations. Help fire up the rocket stove to cook some fresh popcorn. Taste the solar bean stew, slow-cooked in a solar box oven. Crank up a human-powered generator. Measure your power output on a rowing ergometer.
Around 7:00 the film fest continues with the themes of human power and energy. See some excellent films, including "Return of the Scorcher" and "We are Traffic," about bicycle culture and history. After the movies, hurry home to sleep so that you are wide awake for Energy Day.
Energy DaySaturday, September 13. At 9:00 AM, George Hoguet will talk about climate change from a local perspective. Doughnuts and coffee provided.
At 10:30, Bob Murphy will explain Efficiency Vermont and the incentives that are available for energy efficiency projects.
11:30-1:00 There will be an Energy Fair, with exhibits by contractors and retailers, including The Solar Store and Bugbee Insulation.
Remember to buy a composter at the Town Clerk's Office; proceeds support the Underhill Energy Committee and this free event. For more information, google "underhillenergycommittee", email underhillenergycommittee@gmail.com, or call 899-1132.
