We have an Earth Day celebration scheduled for May 11 here in Haines. It will be a festive affair with all kinds of educational displays and interactive opportunities. One of those opportunities will be to vote for "The People's Choice" from the conservation, efficiency, and renewable energy projects submitted for the 2013 Mayor's Energy Award. There are 7 private sector projects and 5 public sector projects (tribal and municipal government and non-profit organizations). The "People's Choice" in each category will be awarded a certificate and a $50 check!
Here are the titles and some photos of the projects. Coming soon to the
Haines Borough website -- extensive and informative narratives of each project!
