one community at a time

2. WHAT IS THE ECOPALOOZA
PROJECT?
 Produce a benefit concert for a non-profit
organization with an environmental awareness
theme.
 Our goal is to raise the visibility of sustainability and
alternative energy sources.
 Education through a common appreciation of
music by bringing people together from
surrounding communities, who might not normally
interact with each other.

community. At the same time, it supports some
great and relevant causes.

3. Our Work:
 BEF’s Solar 4R Schools program matched a portion
of the revenue generated from Ecopalooza with
the proceeds going towards the installation of a
solar panel array at Jason Lee.
 The 1.2-kilowatt solar array will be visible to all
students and will be incorporated into the school
curriculum through the comprehensive Solar 4R
Schools education program.

 "The projects at Jason Lee Elementary and
Corvallis Firehouse No. 1 are just some of the
projects that demonstrate our deep commitment
to building a renewable energy future," said Pat
Reiten, president of Pacific Power. "Not only will
these projects help supply renewable energy, but
they are helping teach children and the public
about solar energy. We're proud to be part of the
effort along with our Blue Sky customers."

5. Community Impact:
 With this solar installation, Jason Lee Elementary
School will join a network of more than 150 school
projects throughout the country. To date, these
solar arrays have combined to produce more
than 4 million kilowatt hours of clean, renewable
energy.

event, taking place in Portland Oregon with the
theme of raising environmental awareness and
conservation while promoting alternative energy
sources.
 The solar powered stage by Solmar is an exciting
pollution free power technology that will yield zero
energy consumption from the city of Portland. It is
an excellent example of using an emerging and
viable alternative energy source. The concept of
“educating while entertaining” is rapidly gaining
popularity; similar events recently put on in other
parts of the country have drawn crowds in the
thousands.
