It wasn’t exactly the Oscars or even the mostly defunct Bammies but the solarati rolled down the green carpet for the First Annual City Solar Awards to pick up their awards (not sure what they are called) for Bay Area cities with the largest number of Solar Homes and Businesses.
Before the festivities, the crowd dined on veggie hors d’œuvres and solar powered wine (but alas no organic beer) and pulled Green from their pockets to bid on silent auction sustainable items like a solar water pump and Solio solar cell phone and Ipod charger.
The ceremonies, minus the paparazzi (except us taking shots), concluded in snappy un-Oscar like fashion with various local municipalities garnering their awards. Sebastopol snagged the small city award for total number of solar systems (326) which way impresses us. Compare that number to much larger Berkeley which garnered third place in the large city category with 364 systems.
Who says that Green isn’t sexy? We hear that the Green MTV channel has lined up rights to broadcast the event next year.
