We could write all day about this AMAZING project!
We will keep it simple and share why we love this: - We are frustrated by the lack of passive solar design in Calgary - the SUNNIEST city in Canada - and throughout Alberta. - Producing food year round or extending the seasons currently involves a huge input of non-renewable resources (coal, natural gas, etc) - but with the climate battery in this greenhouse solar energy is stored as heat in the ground! - It is a student led project by youth - and how awesome is that:? - This involves and benefits the entire community! and... the educational opportunities are HUGE! Learn more at the Lacombe High School EcoVision Website and read a great blog about the climate battery here (go to section 4)
