Solar Sister's Communications Director Fid Thompson shares in this upbeat article how gratefulness echoes through this multi-faceted approach to endowing women, eliminating poverty, and attaining sustainable energy solutions. Change that helps others become self-supporting can happen in sustainable ways, and we can provide backing even from across the ocean. Read on to learn more about this empowering organization.
BE THE CHANGE
Consider how you can simplify your energy use. In so doing, feel your connection to others who have much less than you, but still have lives of hope and meaning.
