install renewable energy equipment on the residences and businesses of the
community. The rewards for each pilot project will be determined based upon
the needs of the specific community. For example, if a community installs 50
solar hot water heating systems Renewable Lifestyles will donate and install
a wind turbine to power the community center or a solar water heating system
for the community pool, etc. Anyone interested in starting this program in
their own community should contact the appropriate local community
