Alternative energy for public buildings could grow thanks to the Royal Oak-based national program Adopt-a-Watt.
Excerpt:
"We mimic (the Adopt-a-Highway program) exactly, but instead of
giving (sponsors) recognition for picking up litter on the side of the
highway, we give them community recognition for investing in clean
energy," said Wither.
Here's a possible scenario: A company or
other private sponsor donates $5,000 to purchase a solar lighting panel
and wants it to be installed at the Royal Oak Fire Station at 13 Mile
and Woodward. When that solar panel is installed, a sign would be
prominently displayed crediting the sponsor business or individual,
much like with Adopt-a-Highway.
