solar punch : road trip







solar punch and Solar CITIES join the
climate solutions road trip: visions of india project!


Besides working hard to use the festival approach to sustainable development (using music and presentations to make renewable energy fun and accessible and foster dialog) Solar CITIES hopes to   learn how to produce household biogas from urban waste and take these techniques, perfected by ARTI in India, back to the Zabaleen community in Cairo for phase II of our mission.

NEWS FLASH FROM THE SOLAR PUNCH WEBSITE "www.solarpunch.org":
"we will be traveling from the southernmost tip of the country, (kanyakumari), to the north, (delhi), styling and profiling in solar-charged electric cars from indian car maker reva.
