Energy Working Group hosting Solar Batch Hot Water Heater workshop Start: May 15 2010 10:00 am End: May 15 2010 2:00 pm Transition Sebastopol Energy Group is holding its first reskilling workshop at Laguna Farm @ 10am - 2pm. We will look at designs of simple Solar hotwater heaters and build a Solar Batch Hotwater Heater. This is basically an insulated box with reflective interior and double pane (reused) sliding glass door to heat the water in a steel tank from a used tanked hot water heater. This concept could be also used to make a Solar Oven. Come join us at Laguna Farm for a fun hands on workshop. $10 suggested donation. email iGrow 350 Garden Challenge Projects Start: May 15 2010 12:59 pm Join in planting 350 gardens on the weekend of May 15-16!
