The Carbon Shredders are back and are doing their next big gig in the Mad River Valley, Vermont on Novenber10th, 2008.

Jeremy Gulley and other neighbors of the Mad River Valley, VT - did a Shredders carbon-reduce group - here is their story... Thanks guys, Barnum - WR

The Bonnaroo community is really getting fired up about reducing energy waste. The festival-fans, the festival organizers, and everyone in their networks, are entering the Shreddolution. Since yesterday the www.Bonnaroo.com homepage has featured a Shredder Video and a Shredder contest to get "roo-sters" to join the Do Your Part Bonnaroo Group. 

Rob Hopkins, author of The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience, sums up the Transition Initiative movement that he helped launch in Britain.

The following floor statement was made on August 1 by Vermont Congressman Peter Welch:

The 110th Congress has been focused on rising energy prices, protecting our environment, and finding concrete, long term solutions to climate change. The scientific evidence is clear: global warming is real, it is urgent, and it requires our immediate attention. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the dedicated efforts of Carbon Shredders, a grassroots environmental group based in the Mad River Valley of Vermont.

We met up with these unnamed folks when we were in Bonnaroo-land. They are architects doing the energy conservation design-thing. Yeah!

The economics of solar power in Vermont under Green Mountain Power's new "Solar Rate" net-metering program means that solar power is a good investment, even in a place like Vermont that doesn't have a lot of hot sunny days.

This program offers people a “market rate” credit from their power bill for solar power generated by homes and sent into the grid, meaning people and businesses can go solar without having to go "off grid.”

We found Robin at the Mad River Valley Saturday Farmer's Market. It rained hard and she spoke about how the Valley has really come alive in supporting this initiative. Cool... White Rhino
