Teaching Kids to Think Creatively About Climate Solutions
This week I discussed solar culture and how to teach kids to think outside the box with Ben Catt, CEO of Pine Gate Renewables. Ben and his team have pioneered a unique initiative in the solar industry called Solar Culture - finding ways to use the land of a solar farm to enrich the local community. Ideas include using the land to house an apiary - bee hives for honey bees to pollinate local crops - or using sheep to maintain the farm's landscape by grazing on the grass. These ideas don't generate any more electricity from the solar farm, but they do add value to the community, and get more value from the farmland.
