Bloedel's Light the Night Solstice Walk is a candle-lit walk around the reserve, and is hosted with the aim of making the year's shortest days a little brighter,” said Bloedel's Programs & Events Manager, Shayla Miles. PSE was proud to sponsor the 3rd annual Solstice Walk at the Bloedel Reserve on December 20, 21 and 22. To view the pieces, you can visit Waypoint Park at 551 Winslow Way E, just uphill from the Winslow ferry terminal. PSE's generous contribution toward lighting will enhance both the Tribute Baskets and the Waypoint, for the countless islanders and visitors who pass by each day.” We're very grateful to Puget Sound Energy for their support of our p ublic art program,” said Anne Smart, Executive Director of Arts & Humanities Bainbridge. The lighting will be installed by spring 2017.
PSE made a $3,200 contribution to provide lighting to enhance the art and improve pedestrian safety. Overseeing the installation is the City of Bainbridge Island's Public Art Program, which is administered by Arts & Humanities Bainbridge. Clark, a professor at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland, was inspired by a visit to the Suquamish Museum and the basketry of the region's indigenous dwellers. "Tribute Baskets" by noted Portland, Oregon artist Christine Clark, features four large, nested metal baskets interwoven with patterns drawn from Suquamish, Scandinavian, Japanese and Filipino cultures. We are pleased to support the City's energy efficiency goals and encourage you to learn more about the energy incentives and rebates we offer.īainbridge Island welcomed a new public art installation in December, and PSE is funding lighting for the installation. The light fixtures also reduce sky glow, or upward light, reducing light pollution in the night sky. These energy-saving, state-of-the-art investments improve safety by focusing light on sidewalks and roadways, where it's needed most.
That is the same as eliminating the greenhouse gases from 11.2 cars each year! The new LED lights will save the city over $12,000 and 75,193 kWh each year.
PSE is eager to continue supporting community-based green energy solutions such as the biodigester.įor more information on the pub's HORSE biodigester, check out this video.Īt the end of 2016 when the nights were long, we were part of several activities that helped light up Bainbridge Island.Īt the City Council meeting on January 3, PSE presented the City of Bainbridge Island with a $15,038 grant to retrofit 207 street lights with light emitting diode (LED) lighting. The pub's owner Jeff Waite noted, The ‘feeding' of the HORSE has motivated our staff to look for additional ways of repurposing our waste streams.” He hopes the digester will have a larger community impact, too: Based on the positive feedback we are experiencing, we think it is time for a community-wide discussion on how the Island can move on more community-based installations,” Waite said. The HORSE has already made an impact on the Harbour Public House. The opportunity to learn from local farms about how well the HORSE's biofertilizer works on their crops This has several benefits:Īn increase in educational opportunities about the digesterĪ larger amount of food waste to add to the digester, which will produce more energy and biofertilizer The 6-month lease extension means the HORSE will be located at the Harbour Public House during the summer months, when the pub has increased foot traffic. The pilot project's three partners (Impact Bioenergy, Harbour Public House, PSE) are pleased with the HORSE's progress and extended the lease to September 24, 2017!
