I found a group that I have recently joined and I encourage all of you to do the same. It is called One Block Off the Grid. This is a community site that enlists people from various geographic area to sign up. If enough people from one city sign up, they will bring it to that town. Their goal is to make solar electricity more affordable by using group pricing. They get a bunch of people together in one area who want to install solar panels and negotiate huge discounts. Members of the first campaign saved up to 40% off solar power. This seems like a great endevour! The biggest issue in installing solar is making it more affordable for the average household, and in Cleveland we can use all the help that we can get! As we have seen from recent events, there is great power in numbers. If enough people are involved, 1BOG works with the city, the suppliers, and the community to help everyone make the best possible decision based on real facts.
Even if they don’t start a campaign here in the NE Ohio region, you can get access to a lot of information from this site. They can demistify some of the process for you and make the daunting task of even considering solar, a lot less scary. But I still like the money part. So sign up today, and with a little help from One Block Off the Grid, we can make Cleveland a much greener place to live!

This sounds like a great opportunity for all Cleveland residents and businesses as well. I am the President/ Owner of Ohio Mattress Recovery and Recycling, we will be working with local colleges and businesses across the state to help recycle mattresses and keep them out of landfills. Some companies such as The Original Mattress Factory are sending tens of thousands a year to landfills,we are hoping to get some support from the green community to help them be responsible with their waste
Just signed up, thank you.
Am I the only one creeped out by the aerial view of my house on the internet?
