What's a solar co-op? A great way to save money and stress by going solar in a group 😎 Join us for the next co-op info session next Tuesday, 8/16 from 5-6pm. This session is held in-person at the Columbus Metropolitan Library (Whetstone Branch, 3909 N High St, Columbus, OH 43214) or online via Zoom. The co-op is free to join and members are *not* obligated to buy solar panels. Co-op members get: • a free review of your roof to see if solar panels will work for you • one-on-one support for all your questions about going solar • an individualized proposal for solar at a bulk rate Not able to make it in person? Join us that evening on Zoom! Registration is required: bit.ly/3SA2eph

A million pounds of food waste a day adds up to ~90,000 TONS of food waste per year here in metro Columbus 😱 But! Composting food scraps is a great way to redirect waste from landfills. The Compost Exchange makes it easy to compost your food scraps, even if you don't have your own compost at home. With their curbside pick up service, you don't even have to leave your house! This FREE pilot program is launching in seven metro neighborhoods but if yours isn't one of them, don't worry! You can still utilize any of the 8 compost drop-off locations throughout the city. Visit bit.ly/CbusComposts to learn more about the upcoming pilot program.

Tomorrow at noon! Join our information session to learn about our 2022 Solarize Columbus coop, and learn how you can achieve significant savings by going solar with a group. More: https://conta.cc/3QiWD4W

Join us TOMORROW at noon for more info about Central Ohio's first solar co-op ☀️ What's a solar co-op, you ask? Imagine walking into a solar company’s office with 50 or 100 of your neighbors and saying, “We all want to get solar. What kind of deal can you give us?” ✨That's a solar co-op!✨ Often, co-op members can obtain a 10-15% discount on a solar system. Couple that with the 26% federal tax break – which falls to 22% next year – and solar becomes truly affordable. Our friends at Solar United Neighbors are working with a cohort of city and community groups to help gather at least 75 Columbus-area folks to join the co-op. Register for our First Fridays event tomorrow, August 5th at noon, to learn more about this fantastic opportunity! Register here for the Zoom link: bit.ly/3oP4j32 For more information about the solar co-op and to sign up, visit SolarUnitedNeighbors.org/Columbus
