In fact, the only thing that made Samso unusual at all was that it was very, very windy. Then the ordinary citizens of this ordinary island decided to do something extraordinary. They drastically reduced their carbon emissions and became almost completely energy independent. And they did it all with the help of the wind! This inspiring true story proves that, with a big idea and a lot of hard work, anyone can make a huge step toward energy conservation, even you. ER -
