Welcome
SOLAR THE SIGN is a nonprofit global network of people who support turning one of the most famous landmarks in the world into one of its most powerful symbols of sustainability. Lighting the Hollywood Sign with solar power will inspire people everywhere about the potential of solar power to be a source of economic growth and jobs creation for generations to come.
- We propose: LIGHTING THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN WITH SOLAR POWER THE NIGHT OF THE 2011 ACADEMY AWARDS.
- This will be the ‘exclamation point’ on our mission: To utilize iconic signs and landmarks to RAISE AWARENESS about the urgent need for renewable energy and TO PROVIDE SOLAR POWER to schools, libraries, parks and communities.
The two objectives go hand in hand. The powerful symbolism of solar powering a world-famous landmark makes possible a local community action that uses solar power to help ease utility costs for financially-stressed schools and families, and promotes sustainability education.
Ours is a volunteer, grass roots campaign. We are not supported by any special interest group, nor do we have any kind of financial or political agenda beyond the objectives of our mission.
At the same time, we are neither whimsical in our intent nor quixotic in our constitution. We understand the challenges facing us. Changing the status quo is never easy. Fortunately, our board of directors and members consist of skilled players from all over they world. We are up to the challenges. Besides, we don’t have a choice. Either we confront these challenges now, or they will seek us out on their own, and claim our children as their victims. We must not allow this to happen! Why wait for a disaster, emergency, or threat to inspire us to take action? The change we seek can begin with us. And it can begin now. Light a light that the world will see! Solar The Sign!
