Climate Cycle celebrated its landmark solar installation on Tuesday April 14th at Perspectives/IIT Math and Science Academy. Joey Feinstein, Climate Cycle Executive Director, Eileen Sweeney, Motorola Foundation Executive Director, Suzanne Carlson, Chicago Public School's Sustainability Project Manager, Richard Rioux, I.B.E.W. Local 134 electrician's union President and Mary Cummane, Perspectives/IIT
Math and Science Principal each addressed the students and rejoiced in the victory of a future with greener and cleaner schools.
Through a generous grant from the Motorola Foundation, six solar panels were installed, completed and operational on April 12. Through a coordinated effort from our Motorola grant and I.B.E.W. Local 134 electrician's union who generously donated their labor our inaugural solar panel installation was completed six months prior to our original targeted installation date! This is a true testament to what a community based operation like Climate Cycle can do.
