The "Return of the Solar Cat" book is based on the idea that cats know a lot more about solar energy than people do, and that people can learn a lot about solar energy from cats. It pokes fun at people, cats, their habits and addictions, explaining the elements and language of solar energy, its history and even a little about its politics, in a gentle, often subtle way that wanders from the serious to the silly.

- Denim Rugs
Our goal is to use something old to make something new, generate no waste, run off of renewable resources, and have the work performed by differently-abled workers. These denim rugs are made of recycled jeans at the Camphill Village in Kimberton Hills, PA. The adult villagers use the recycled jeans to make the rugs on a loom. After all usable strips of the jeans are used for the rugs, any scraps that are left over are returned to Recycling Services, Inc. which will then be made into paper. The cost of the rugs is $45.00, which helps pay the differently-abled workers who create them. USED:
