This weekend, the Global Warming Story Tour came through Bloomington to ask community members how global warming is affecting them. People were very excited and curious to see our biodiesel-powered, solar-energy-equipped vehicle and asked lots of great questions
Many people expressed interest in putting solar panels up on their houses and wanted to know if there was anyone in town who helped out with that. Luckily, the person who runs SIREN (Southern Indiana Renewable Energy Network) kept dropping by the event to answer their questions. People who were not familiar with our global warming campaign seemed excited to know that there was a local group working on the campaign and were eager to get involved.
During the busiest part of the event, four of our Congressman’s staffers (that would be Rep. Baron Hill) stopped by to check out the festivities. I asked them if they wanted to do video testimonials, and they politely declined.
Still, I think we got some great video testimonials from people who really represent southern Indiana, so I’m excited about that. Overall, it was a good event!
