Ojai Valley Postcard – a Greenpeace Initiative
THANKS
The Ojai Valley was chosen as a video location for a Greenpeace Initiative – Postcards from Climate Change.
The topic – ‘going solar’ – inspired by the Coalition’s Solarize Ojai Valley program.
Check out the video here.
BTW – for the next year the city of Ojai just joined Ventura County in waiving solar permit fees. Until August 14, 2014 save around $500.00 just on permitting, if you live in Ojai city limits! Save more if you sign-up by October 9, 2013 for a solar system thru the Coalition Solarize Ojai Valley program – see entry further down.
