Energy Efficient Project
Christy’s Face Painting needed a cleaner, more sustainable way to power their mobile booth at festivals and events across Nevada and the south-western United States. With a $1,000 rebate, Christine installed a solar generator and panels to power her booth off grid. The new system runs lighting, a card reader, a fan, and more completely from solar energy!
“This program helped me show the public that even a small business can go solar.”
PROJECT OUTCOMES
- Energy Saved: 353 kWh/year
- Emissions Reduced: 0.401 MT CO2e/year
- Projected Cost Savings: $121/year
Previously, all booth power was sourced from at-home charging, requiring significant electricity. The switch allows the booth to operate entirely off-grid while showcasing clean energy.
Project Results
Christy’s Face Painting is now a carbon-neutral vendor, inspiring hundreds of families through interactive, sustainable outreach. Her booth also features biodegradable glitter, vegan hypoallergenic face paints, and a bee-themed design that donates all its proceeds to pollinator awareness campaigns. The project demonstrates that even micro-businesses can lead climate action with creativity and impact.
