Harvard Square, October 2007
This is a Solar IS Civil Defense arrangement.
The posters around the fountain include A South-Facing Window Is Already a Solar Collector and reproductions of historic WWII posters:
Ambrose Spencer has a larger solar fountain that he displays from time to time and I just read about Charles Goldman's portable solar fountain that he walked from Brooklyn to the Bronx.

For years, I've been recommending that people take these things to the public squares and most especially the farmers' markets, a core constituency of any green movement, as in the story "Mr Franklin's Folks".
It's all part of a Solar Survival Show and the sooner we start performing it the more likely we are to survive.

Great work, Gmoke, now all we need is the political will.
These are such cool ideas for fountains. I want to get some solar fountains for the garden for my fiance.
These are way cool fountains. I have been looking at solar fountains for the garden at my fiances place and I think she would love these.
