A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our Low Carbon Exhibition! Together we explored a variety of informative booths, tested out an electric bike, test drove an electric vehicle, learned about solar options and tried out some electric power tools! Inside Evolv1 we saw important conversations on our sustainable low carbon futures from Enova, Plug’n Drive, and Reep Green Solutions. A BIG thank you to our vendors for their help on the great success of this event: Home Depot, Reep Green Solutions, Plug’n Drive, VCT Group, Merlyn Power, SWR and Ziggy’s Cycle & Sports. #transformwr #80by50 #watreg
