 Organizing a Successful TourThe ASES National Solar Tour is the world's largest grassroots solar event -- which is a direct result of the efforts of local organizers like you throughout the country. This fun event offers participants the opportunity to tour homes and buildings to see how neighbors are using solar energy, energy efficiency, and other sustainable technologies to reduce their monthly utility bills and help tackle climate change. Last year close to 140,000 attendees visited some 5,000 buildings in 3,000 participating communities. Now in its 14th year, this event is coordinated nationally by the nonprofit American Solar Energy Society. It takes place annually during the first Saturday in October in conjunction with National Energy Awareness Month.

I love the camaraderie of the people and lasting friendships." "ASES (website) brought out different people and there were many fascinating conversations about what people are doing and their plans: we learned so much!"

Hardly a day passes when we are not reminded of how our daily lives are changing very quickly. From economic concerns to environmental matters it seems that every facet of how we live is being impacted. Many people are looking for a way to move the U.S toward sustainable energy choices that add jobs, support the economy, strenghten national security and reduce pollution, water use and carbon emissions responsible for global warming. Those involved in the tour, either as organizers or home or building owners, are sharing first hand how to take charge on an individual level, implementing solutions that are available right now. Your enthusiasm and passion is contagious and many of your neighbors are eager to learn from your knowledge of renewable energy. And that is where you, as an organizer, play a pivotal role in linking people and knowledge!
