Braving temperatures approaching 100 degrees, iron workers bolted the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative’s Zephyr Wind Turbine to the top of its 120-foot tower near the Mahtomedi High School playing fields yesterday afternoon, where it now perches, ready to transform those famous lake breezes into electricity and renewable energy educational experiences for their schools and their community.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception to thank donors and volunteers will be held later this summer. For more information, visit http://www.mahtomedigreen.org.
About MAGI: In partnership with Mahtomedi area residents, schools, businesses, and government, MAGI works to reduce use of nonrenewable, carbon-emitting fuels; produce renewable energy, including wind and solar; and encourage an enduring community commitment to sustainability. Since 2006, MAGI volunteers have worked within their community to promote energy conservation, renewable energy and sustainability. Their strong Mahtomedi School District serves as our geographic base, yet a key function of MAGI is to create connections among individuals and groups in their area and beyond. The goal is to encourage the entire community to tap the power of partnership and make the good things we are doing even better!
