ASUSES in conjunction with Retrofit-A-Million, The North Carolina Radon Program, Blue Ridge Electric, Appalachian State University Office of Sustainability, Habitat Club Appalachian State Chapter, and Earth Fare are teaming up for the first ever High Country Retrofit Day of Action (R.D.A) on Earth Day Sunday April 22, 2012.

Project Mission:
To connect students and communities with various service-learning opportunities that explore the health, economic, and environmental benefits of resource conservation- one household at a time.

About The Retrofit Day of Action
The Community Retrofit Day of Action (RDA) is an engagement, advocacy, and leadership activation program. During this service-learning opportunity "harvest teams" (volunteers) canvass assigned communities to deliver direct-to-door efficiency investment packages; performing radon testing and lighting retrofits. Exchanging old "dirty" inefficient devices for brand new efficient "clean" Compact Fluorescent Bulbs, FREE OF CHARGE, to the residents. In addition, the harvest teams conduct baseline energy assessments, and invite recipients to complete an impact profile and environmental awareness survey. Following a 90-day adjustment period, Retrofit staff reconnect with recipients, via telephone to determine monetary savings and to provide additional green solutions supplied by the Retrofit Fund and partners. This follow-up also allows Retrofit staff to ensure the integrity of the efficiency investment packages and further increase awareness of other energy and water conservation options.
