Welcome SolarWorld!

Last Saturday hundreds of guests gathered for the open house at SolarWorld to learn more about the factory, the company and solar energy.

The new SolarWorld $440 million plant will be home to SolarWorld Industries America headquarters for SolarWorld AG of Germany, one of the largest solar-cell producers in the world. The plant just opened last Friday, October 17, and by 2011 it is expected to produce material each year capable of generating enough electricity to power 80,000 U.S. homes.

This translates in to $400 million directly invested in Oregon’s economy, 1,000 new jobs by 2011, and will allow us to set an example in affordable and efficient energy alternatives.

September’s Sustainability Workshop

Sustainability –
What does it mean?
How do we become?
How do I help others understand?
Where are we now?

Crave Catering’s owner, Mark Lopez blogs:

Last week I got an entire day filled with sustainable answers. Not a be all and end all by any means, more like a journey or an evolution. On Thursday, September 11, 2008 I joined about 30 like-minded people interested and eager to hear what was in store for us at the Natural Step Network’s workshop entitled Sustainability Using The Natural Step Framework.
