Take the opportunity to learn more about clean energy at the ninth annual Alaska Renewable Energy Fair organized by REAP, the Renewable Alaska Energy Project, on Saturday, August 10 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Downtown Anchorage Parkstrip between G and I streets.

"The goal is to educate citizens of Anchorage and Alaska ... about energy in general, renewable energy and energy efficiency in particular, and the implications of energy choices that we all make every day," says REAP Founder and Executive Director Chris Rose.

The fair consists of family activities, lectures, and twenty workshops. "Everything is free," Rose says. "We want to make this as accessible to everyone as possible." There will also be live music and vendors.

The workshops and lectures will cover information about the Eva Creek, Fire Island, and Delta Junction wind projects, as well as other clean energy developments including energy efficiency building designs and construction projects...
