Thanks to everyone who spent time with Green Marlborough at the Heritage
Festival this year!
Marlborough's Main Street was filled with folks
enjoying the day, many hoping for a cup of clam chowder!
Green Marlborough had info about energy
efficiency, water conservation, where to buy local food and
.....
Amy had an amazing Alt-E solar display that was
really popular
And Aidan's terrific stormwater drain display was
a big hit, too.
Mike came to say hi and help us talk about energy
efficiency.
Rich also came to pitch in on another one of our
wonderful community events and enjoyed talking with folks.
Aidan educated about 50 people about stormwater
drains!.
Jen couldn't stop talking about energy efficiency
& water conservation as usual!
The solar oven was a real hit!
There was just enough sun on this cloudy day to
make s'mores in the solar oven. A real treat!
Mike's beautiful Honda runs on Compressed Natural
Gas (CNG). It is the alternative fuel car of the future!
Eric's old Mercedes runs on veggie oil. It
was popular and people asked him questions all day about how he
retrofited it.
Baha and Eric look under the hood of Eric's
car. Retrofitting the car was a fun project for Eric and
his son a couple years ago.
Eric gets French fry oil from restaurants.
He strains it into the orange bucket and then uses the fuel to
run his car. The veggie oil is free and his car gets
30mpg. Way to go, Eric!
It was a terrific day for us and lots of folks in
Marlborough.
Thousands of people enjoyed the Heritage Festival.
