Sustainability: Living Off-Grid
Cedar Coast is proud to be an off-grid facility! We are taking steps to grow awareness of energy and water consumption, and educate on alternative living systems. In this activity, tour the systems that make it possible to live and work on Vargas Island! Solar energy, rainwater harvesting , heating, and food production all play an important role in off-grid life, and all have their own impacts on the environment.
