In the class, journalism and computer science majors collaborate to come up with an app idea. Then they put together code that makes the app come to life. Putting the apps together, however, is not that simple.

From the front, Don Laughlin's house on Church Street seems like an ordinary home. In the back, it's a little different. Laughlin's house has solar panels.
The panels work along with these pumps and tubes in Laughlin's basement. The panels, tubes, and pumps help generate ninety-five percent of the energy used to heat Laughlin's water and ninety-two percent of his entire home. On average, a project like this costs $20,000. A lot? Laughlin doesn't think so.
(SOT)
“We’ve got to get off carbon fuels sometime, and we’ve got to quit driving so much, and we’ve got to quit using gas and especially coal for heating houses and generating electricity.”

(VO)
And the cost of installing solar panels will eventually even out, considering the savings on energy bills.

(SOT)
“Most people’s gas bills in Iowa City will run—in the winter time—they’ll run two hundred and fifty dollars a month, and mine is two hundred and fifty dollars a year.”

(VO)
Even Laughlin's truck is energy efficient. It runs off of biodiesel fuel which is made from leftover cooking oil. Laughlin's even found a way to conserve energy when it comes to making food.

“This solar box cooker, which Don built himself, absorbs sunlight and can get as high as two hundred and thirty degrees in February, and you use it kind of like a grill to cook food.”

(VO)
Despite the cost and effort it takes to utilize renewable energy, Laughlin says it's worth it. It's less about saving for himself, and more about saving the world.

It's called Community Supported Agriculture or CSA. It's bringing farmers and locals together. These people gathered to learn more about CSAs at the sixth annual Agriculture Fair in Iowa City. This is how they work.
CSA farmers promise to deliver herbicide and pesticide free produce and plants to participating locals. The locals, known as shareholders, get a basket of fresh food delivered to their door every week over a specified period of time. The baskets can include anything from vegetables to flowers and decorative grasses.

(STAND UP)
“Beans from these sprouts will eventually end up in shareholders’ baskets, which can be between five and twenty pounds, depending on the season.”

(VO)
Consumers are becoming more and more interested in CSAs because of the organic lifestyle it promotes.

(SOT)
“I would like to get into the habit of having more fresh food. Right now, I tend to go the easy route and rely a little bit too much on frozen stuff.”

(VO)
And farmers are happy to provide. Doing business with locals ensures a weekly paycheck, keeping small farms afloat.

(SOT)
“It provides the capital up front that farmers need normally to plant in the spring, so if I can get it from the consumer versus the bank, it’s always better.”

(VO)
And even more simply, CSAs create a sense of community, where farmers bring food from their home…to yours.
