A Florida Groundswell for Clean Energy

Our economy is in shambles, we are dependent on hostile regions of the
world for our energy, and our environment is critically endangered.
Yet Tallahassee refuses to act on the most sensible solution for long-term
funding for clean energy programs.

There is a way to move forward and start the wheels of the new
green economy in Florida now. With the average homeowner investing
only a small amount of energy savings from one CFL light bulb, we can
build a multimillion-dollar, comprehensive, renewable energy
development program that will lay the groundwork of a new industry.
For the commercial consumer, it would mean saving just less than one-
half of 1% of their electrical use.

This is surely the least we can do as Floridians to get our state on
track and possibly begin to lead in the new clean energy technology of
today. Take the time now and pledge your support, then send a letter
to Governor Crist to let him know we need his leadership on this
crucial issue. Help us build a groundswell of support for action over
inaction, positive solutions over political discord, and public
interest over special interest.

Tonight on WUSF - Florida Matters

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Florence Search, a 5th Grade teacher at Perkins Elementary in St Petersburg, was selected by renowned Film Producer and Storyteller, Larry Elliston, as a featured story for the WUSF TV PBS broadcast of the new Florida Matters Television series airing Friday February 13th at 8pm and Sunday February 15th at 9:30am. There will also be an appearance by Dr. Charlie Crist, of St Petersburg, the father of Florida’s Governor. The subject of this week’s program is Sustainability and Environmental Consciousness.

The story is all about the teacher, Florence Search’s commitment to environmental responsibility and how it can really reduce your utility bills. “Flo is such a perfect Florida story,” Larry says, after filming her teaching her class about the virtues of solar and the sustainable lifestyle. Her students were so excited about her lesson, that one of the best sounds bites comes from a student who says, “I always wanted to know someone who lives in a solar powered house only to find out it was my teacher.”

After filming in the classroom, Larry takes his cameras to the teacher’s St Petersburg home where she also teaches her neighbors and fellow Floridians how you can convert a poorly performing financial investment into a much better investment in Florida sunlight which has reduced her $300 per month utility bill to almost nothing. Florence had Solar Direct, of Bradenton install solar which produces electric, makes her hot water, and even powers her swimming pool pump. “She really practices what she teaches, and I was really impressed by her,” states Larry Elliston.

Dr. Charlie Crist, the Governor’s father and a recent solar pool heating system owner of Solar Direct, also makes an appearance and speaks about his son’s support and future of solar in Florida.
