The Power of a Bright Idea

Turning the Tide conference 2009
Carolyn Jones 100 People Photographer and Filmmaker
Sailesh Rao Founder and Executive Director, Climate Healers

Innovators the world over are finding new ways to harness the sun’s energy and combat global warming. 100 People photographer/filmmaker Carolyn Jones shares fascinating photos and video of their creations—from micro solar panels that offer new business opportunities and solar power for cell phones in Africa to a solar farm that powers an entire town in Spain.

Inventor and social entrepreneur Dr. Sailesh Rao explains his brilliant movement to encourage use of solar cookers in communities that previously used wood or charcoal.
