The Sol Solution Project is the first of 3 planned projects by Community 2025. Our goal at Community 2025 is to make the science of sustainable living fun and understandable for kids. Integrating the positive message of sustainable living into music with interesting interviews, hands-on workshops, and topics that can be applied by kids and parents in their own homes. Great change starts, one step at a time.
