REGION – On Sept. 20 and 21, Vermonters throughout the state will be joining in the first national Sun Day celebration. This fall equinox, we will be celebrating the power of the sun and wind to transform our society, and provide a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
Sun Day is a day of action here in Vermont and nationally, and Third Ac t is a primary sponsor of this event. It’s a day to celebrate the power of clean energy, according to spokeswoman Laurel Green. As part of the National Days of Action on Sept. 20 and 21, people everywhere will be showcasing solar installations, electric homes, and vehicles that run on clean power. By organizing thousands of events nationwide on the fall equinox, Sun Day will help accelerate the ongoing clean energy revolution. The technology and the solutions to address climate change exist. Now we need to build the political will to scale up and accelerate the growth of clean energy and make it accessible to all.
The clean energy revolution is here. Solar, wind, and batteries are the cheapest form of power on the planet, lowering costs, creating new jobs, and strengthening our communities. On Sept. 20 and 21, we’ll celebrate the progress we’ve made and push for more. We’ll install new solar, host e-bike parades, give heat pump tours, and rally for change. Together, we’ll make the sun rise on our clean energy future.
All Vermonters are invited to join this kid-friendly day of live music, parades, and other events in Windham and Windsor Counties, Norwich, Burlington, and Middlebury.
In our region, there will be a solar system tour in Windham and Windsor Counties. The Windham-Windsor (Win-Win) Third Act Vermont regional group is hosting a tour of local solar installations in these two counties to celebrate Sun Day. A self-guided tour that includes several homes that have gone solar, an elementary school with solar panels on the roof and playing field, a historic stone church powered by the sun, and more.Sign up at www.actionnetwork.org/events/tour-solar-systems-in-windham-and-windsor-counties.
