Campus Improvements Continue
Last week we replaced the original roof on the Dharma Hall built in 1994. Replacing the roof was a necessary first step to installing more solar capacity on that rooftop. This past year we installed 15 mini-split/heat pumps on campus for efficient heating and cooling (in addition to major insulation and lighting improvements). We have also installed a second electric vehicle charger for yogis and staff. Thanks to our generous supporters we are able to take these actions to make us less and less dependent on fossil fuels.[Read more...]
