*'''November 2012: GloboSol annual report: Switzerland - The Rolling Solar Kitchen''' - [[Michael Götz]] reports that the [[GloboSol]] mobile kitchen has been used five times: First, as a provision-kitchen during the anti-nuclear demonstration in Kleindöttingen, then at the Permaculture Days in Rüfenacht, the summer-camp of Greenpeace in Trub, and as a Crêperie at the music festival “Hors Tribu” in Môtier and the “Fête de la Terre” in Cernier, [[Switzerland]]. Even though the operational accounting closed with a modest profit, it is regrettable that the cooks and the sellers hardly had time to explain solar cooking to interested guests, or to inform them about the work of [[GloboSol]]. Therefore we are looking for volunteers, who would like to participate at one or several of these events, to help spread the word about GloboSol. You can inquire at: http://www.globosol.ch |

*'''July 2009:''' [[Ulrich Oehler|Ulrich Oehler's]] pioneering work in the 1980s inspired a wave of Swiss solar cooking promoters. For many years, Oehler’s house in Basel even served as the country’s main solar cooker information center, maintained by the ULOG group. From 1997 to 2007, the Centre Neuchâtelois de Cuisine Solaire (CNCS) in the small town of Neuchâtel served as the country’s information hub. Visitors could see a variety of solar cooker models or ask questions of the centre’s leader, [[Michael Götz]]. In addition to this resource, [[ULOG]] group and [[GloboSol]] maintain a travelling solar crêperie in which they prepare solar pancakes for music festivals and ecology fairs throughout Switzerland. 2008 was a year of changes and new opportunities. The information center moved to a prominent location in the international city of Geneva. Götz is thrilled with the location. “Finally we have a room with a shop-window, only a few steps from Geneva’s train station!” Alain Cassani, Annick Steiner, and Yves Ronchetti of the association SOLEMYO manage the shop and information center, conduct solar cooker construction trainings, and schedule solar crêperie events, while Götz, operating as ExSol, works on consulting, education, technical development, and other projects. |
