UNC Geography’s Rebecca Chaisson and recent graduate James Ellsmoor are on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia this week promoting the use of solar energy. The project is part of an initiative by the nonprofit Solar Head of State, and is designed to raise awareness of the importance of renewable energy through prominent installations on government buildings. In Saint Lucia, the installation is taking place on Government House, the official residence of the Governor-General, and is designed to mark the nation’s goal to reach 35% renewable energy by 2020.
