Use Heat for Good!

solar ovensUtilize the sun’s energy and enjoy solar oven-baked goodies at a workshop Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Center for Living Peace in Irvine. It’s crazy to consider that enough sunlight falling on the earth in one hour could provide enough energy in one year to meet global demands. Learn more at the Ecology Center’s lesson on solar oven construction Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Everyone will go home with their own solar oven. We hear that solar ovens  can cook just about anything conventional ovens can. Sign up here, and Sabrina Talukder at stalukder@goodhappens.org can answer any questions.
