Going Green

It seems nowadays that everyone everywhere is trying to go green to help the environment. Imagine climbing 276 steps to change a light bulb well that exactly what, operations mechanic, Rian Harford does. And it not just any light bulb it is a light bulb that belongs to air traffic control light that sits upon a wind turbine. The wind turbine is on the top of Jimmy Peak Mountain Resort in Massachusetts. The wind turbine was build after someone suggested to take advantage of the wind that blows during the winter and since the resort is most active during winter it was a win win. But this idea was not that simple to accomplish many factors were taken into consideration. I think the economy has pressured everyone to cut back and in a way that has helped the environment.
