If the world were 100 people, 24 would have no access to electricity. A global energy project uses photography and film to educate on the potential of solar energy.
What would the world look like if it were 100 People?
This question lies at the heart of the 100 People Foundation’s mission, to help students better understand the complex issues facing our planet and the resources we share. As a part of its collaboration with SunPower Foundation, the 100 People Foundation launched a microsite focused on how we share energy and the untapped potential sunlight offers.
Prior to launch, 100 People filmmakers Carolyn Jones and Isabel Sardurni circled the globe capturing stories of solar innovation. Alison project-managed the site launch, coordinating the efforts of both foundations as well as the web designer and web developer in two different cities. Total time from kickoff to launch was four months. This was an aggressive schedule, but the team was able to flip the switch with all content in place—before the Christmas holidays.
Alison also wrote or edited all site copy for launch. Initial Sun Stories included:
- Agustín Carrión García (Jumilla, Spain): A farmer harvests energy from the sun to help power his town (home to one of the world's largest photovoltaic solar farms)
- Brave Mhouie (Malawi, Africa): A young Malawian helps create jobs by promoting micro-solar businesses
- Pulo Elementary (Philippines): A school powered solely by solar energy
- Leroy Chiao (International Space Station): A NASA astronaut witnesses first-hand the power of the sun
- Mario Visonini (Paradise, CA): A 15-year-old teaches his fellow students how to conserve energy
- The Klein Family (Boulder, CO): An eco-conscious family joins a solar community, reducing their carbon footprint
The dedicated 100 People and SunPower teams continue to circle the globe and bring back inspiration. Please visit the site and give your support.
