In the year 1962, biologist Rachel Carson published her iconic book, Silent Spring, which opened people’s eyes to the dangers of chemicals in the environment. Carson evoked a world where the sound of bird song and the buzzing of bees would no longer be heard because of the agricultural industry’s systematic poisoning of earth, water and air.
In the face of climate change, efforts to reduce our personal impact through reducing emissions and being more energy efficient are imperative. The Schott Social Barometer survey in 2010 found that 94% of Americans believe that solar energy should be encouraged and that half were intending to use it in their homes or workplaces in the coming year.
Fashion is finally catching up with science in this area, and solar technology is experiencing a style boom. From clothes, to home furnishings to high tech low-impact gadgets, going solar has never been easier or (pardon the pun) hotter!
