The mall is all about our appetite for stuff, our greedy habit of consuming more than anyone else in the world. It is about our relationship to cars — off the freeway, with plenty of parking! — and our abandonment of our cities. It is about our infantile attention span, our embrace of the artificial, our transformation from a country that makes things to a country that buys things. Things we do not need.
Every October, Green Energy Ohio organizes the Ohio Solar Tour in cooperation with the American Solar Energy Society's (ASES) National Solar Tour.
Encompassing sustainable features beyond solar energy, the statewide event features self-guided, guided or open house tours in all corners of the state and highlights a growing list of over 200 sites with solar, wind, biomass, green design and energy-saving technologies and more.
For more information, go here.
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
