GreeningRozzie is looking to make solar installation in Roslindale a community-wide initiative that’s fun, easy to participate in, and makes an impact on our carbon footprint. Organizing the initiative as a challenge should encourage wide participation, and could be a model for Boston as a whole.
Our first step is talking with Roslindale neighborhood associations about instigating a Solar Challenge. GreeningRozzie was invited to the Longfellow Area Neighborhood Association (LANA) January meeting where we presented the idea of a solar challenge. We collected a lot of good feedback. Next up is organizing a community meeting in late April or early May to share resources and tips on going solar and to move the Rozzie Solar Challenge forward.

• Would you like to help plan, run or participate in the community meeting?
• If you have solar panels, would you come to the meeting to share your experience?
• Are you interested in planning the Solar Challenge?
• A first step in the Challenge is to get a count of buildings that already have solar. Would you be willing to walk a few streets and record what you see?
• Is there any other way you’d like to get involved?
• Do you have any ideas about what else we could do?
