The Kicking Gas Journey: A Story of Community Resilience and Transformation

Hello, South Whidbey!

What an exciting journey it has been with the Kicking Gas campaign! Today, we'd like to take a step back and appreciate the milestones we've achieved together in our mission for a greener South Whidbey.

From the early days of securing the initial grant to navigating the challenging course of implementation, we've seen firsthand the power of community action. Through our ambitious aim to transition homes from traditional fuels to energy-efficient heat pumps, we've shown the world that change starts at the grassroots level.

Our journey hasn't been without its trials. However, every challenge has strengthened our resolve, and the results speak for themselves. Homes across South Whidbey have successfully switched to cleaner energy sources, and it’s all thanks to the tenacity and spirit of our community.

But what does this mean for you, our fellow South Whidbey resident? The benefits of energy efficiency extend beyond just savings on your utility bills. By embracing heat pumps and renewable energy, we're reducing our carbon footprint and making a significant contribution to the fight against climate change.

What's even more exciting is how our journey has been captured in 'Heat Switch: The Kicking Gas Campaign', a captivating short documentary by local independent filmmaker, Anna Zefferys. This film tells our story, highlighting the hard work, dedication, and resilience of the people who made this campaign possible.

'Heat Switch' isn't just about our accomplishments so far - it's a testament to the potential for change when a community comes together for a shared cause. As we grapple with the harsh realities of climate change, this documentary is a beacon of hope that it's not too late to make a difference.

So, as we continue on this exciting journey, we invite you to be a part of the Kicking Gas story. Whether you're an early adopter who has already made the switch to a heat pump or you're contemplating the change, remember - every step taken towards sustainability matters.

Here's to a greener South Whidbey, today and always!

Until next time,

Kicking Gas Campaign Team
