I was just chatting to Hive account@instructor2121 regarding getting people interested in alternative energy to start a community here on steemit, and he instantly created the alt-energy-trail over at the steem-trail chat on discord!

I am no expert in alternative energy though the subject fascinates me. But I also feel responsible that we are destroying a lot of things on the planet due to our insatiable need for energy of some form.

I have been long enough on steem to realise that a majority of the community here is looking at alternative ways of doing things, and I feel discussing and posting about alternative ways to harness energy should blend in well with that ethos.

I do dabble in a bit of DIY stuff mostly regarding solar energy, but I can bet there would be a whole lot more who have knowledge about the many alternatives which are out there, and would love to hear from them.

So through this post I call on all enthusiasts and experts to rise up and focus on this topic, as by doing so we will not only be propagating practical knowledge which can help people, but also do our bit to bring awareness about the energy problems facing the world today.

So come on Steemians, lets do this, lets start posting in the #alt-energy tag more often!
