Realizan bien su trabajo. Fue como una familia\u201d, reflexion\u00f3 Eddie.<\/p>\n<p>El sistema de 2,76 kW (DC) instalado por GRID y nuestros voluntarios ahorrar\u00e1 a la familia $17.000 durante toda la vida \u00fatil del sistema, al tiempo que compensar\u00e1 78 toneladas de gases de efecto invernadero (equivalente a la plantaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s de 1.800 \u00e1rboles).<\/p>\n<p>Eddie y su esposa Patricia tienen cinco hijos adultos. Hace unos 15 a\u00f1os solicitaron y construyeron su casa con Habitat for Humanity. Eddie explic\u00f3 c\u00f3mo nunca hab\u00eda imaginado que pudieran permitirse instalar paneles solares en su casa, y se sorprendi\u00f3 enormemente cuando descubri\u00f3 por primera vez sobre GRID Alternatives. Pero despu\u00e9s de aprender m\u00e1s, pas\u00f3 de ser esc\u00e9ptico a un defensor del programa en su vecindario, recorriendo las calles y difundiendo la informaci\u00f3n para ayudar a otras familias calificadas de su barrio a solicitar el programa.<\/p>\n<p>Los 12 paneles solares de Eddie fueron instalados con la ayuda de nuestros <a href=\"https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/es\/programs\/solar-break\/\">Vacaciones de primavera en el sol<\/a> Estudiantes del Beloit College en Wisconsin, as\u00ed como un equipo de Wells Fargo, con el que Eddie disfrut\u00f3 trabajando. \u201c\u00a1Me encanta cocinar para todas esas personas! Son muy amables, siempre sonr\u00eden. Me gusta trabajar con gente as\u00ed porque son muy agradables y se preocupan por las personas como nosotros.\u201d El equipo de GRID y los voluntarios tambi\u00e9n disfrutaron de conocer a Eddie, ya que es el tipo de persona que est\u00e1 claramente dedicada a apoyar a su familia y a quienes le importan.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie trabaj\u00f3 en el departamento de dormitorios y viviendas familiares de la Universidad de Colorado en Boulder durante 32 a\u00f1os antes de retirarse hace varios a\u00f1os. Aunque disfruta de su retiro, Eddie ha dicho c\u00f3mo le extra\u00f1a ver a los estudiantes todos los d\u00edas y verlos crecer. Eddie y Patricia tambi\u00e9n ayudan a mantener a sus hijos, que actualmente est\u00e1n estudiando en la universidad. Como alguien que trabaj\u00f3 en una universidad durante m\u00e1s de treinta a\u00f1os, no es sorprendente que Eddie haya trabajado tan duro para animar a sus hijos a obtener una educaci\u00f3n. \u201cSiempre les digo: sigan adelante, sigan adelante. Pueden obtener un t\u00edtulo de licenciatura si quieren. Yo los apoyo\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eddie estaba orgulloso de compartir que su hijo se graduar\u00e1 con una licenciatura en enfermer\u00eda en la Universidad de Colorado Denver a finales de este mes. Tambi\u00e9n expres\u00f3 su agradecimiento a tanto a Habitat for Humanity como a GRID Alternatives por ayudar a su familia y su entusiasmo por empezar a ahorrar en su factura de electricidad.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Eddie, welcoming the GRID Colorado team and volunteers to his home in Boulder for the installation of his solar system was like welcoming family.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":3372,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"audience":[],"content-type":[12],"focus-area":[24,73],"region":[],"series":[],"content-author":[],"class_list":["post-3371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-workforce-education","content-type-news","focus-area-solar-spring-break","focus-area-workforce-development"],"acf":{"hero_media_type":"image","hero_media_image":null,"hero_media_url":"","hero_media_poster":null,"hero_video_play":"inline","related_stories":null,"pattern_override":null,"story_callouts":null,"media":null,"featured_blog_post":null,"featured_event":null,"pdf_download":null,"blockquote":null,"author":null,"notice":null,"social_embed":null,"contact_card":null,"meta_details":null,"faq":null,"table":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
