Home Outreach & Education Rebuild Central Fire Victims “Why build green? It’s just the right thing for many reasons.”

“Why build green? It’s just the right thing for many reasons.”

Ellen Norton fire survivorOut of those many reasons…the environment tops the list for Fire Survivor Ellen Norton, as she rebuilds her energy-efficient home. “Conservation of precious resourses, less pollution and making a political stance against foreign oil are all important, ” said Norton.
Her home now stands as a green example in the community.

“I DO think it will pay off financially relatively soon, but that wasn’t my primary reason,” said Norton.
By incorporating Solar PV, solar hot water, solar pool heating, Energy Star appliances, low flow toilets and much more, the Norton’s have drastically decreased their carbon footprint. Norton says the workshops at CCSE helped her to make informed decisions about Solar.
“They “de-mystified” solar, making it sound reasonable for regular people,” said Norton
“It’s Education you could trust from environmentally minded people not selling the product.”
