Clean Energy Action Week - April 11th - 18th

[Jamie Trahan]

Are you aware of the energy issues that we are facing today? Perhaps you would like to help educate those who would like to be informed or maybe you'd like some information on these issues yourself. If either apply, please join us at USF's Tampa Campus for "Energy Action Week" from April 11th through April 18th. Our goal is to promote "Awareness to Action" on key energy issues, from Solar and Wind to Coal and Nuclear.

Hey Jamie,

Unfortunately, I won't get to participate in clean energy week as I'm not in Tampa yet. I am however, very interested in going "green" when I arrive.

One area that I'm personally interested in is geothermal heating and cooling. I was curious if anyone in the Tampa area has implemented this technology?

I'm looking forward to EarthFest at Sweetwater - it will also be a chance to say goodbye to Daniel and Michelle!
