[Summit] Parking Lot Alternatives

[Hope for Health]

I'd love a pony!  Meanwhile, my wish for
Miriam's and many other parking lots is
carport-type canopies fitted with 
photovoltaic arrays.  Keeps your car
out of the sun - and uses the sun to
provide electricity to the surrounding
buildings.  They're doing it lots of
places - should be much more.

Blessings,

Liberty G
