Mr Sustainable

Mr Sustainable, Dante DiPirro of Hopewell NJ, will speak on Earth Day, April 22, 2015 at 7:30 pm about his off-grid, solar home and how to live sustainably using solar power and sustainable building materials. He will show pictures and discuss passive solar design, solar energy, and the need to think and live sustainably.  He’ll also discuss how he charges his electric car — with free, non-polluting electricity– by plugging it into his solar house!
