Go-to place
Of Grid East Coast was also developed for another reason. People who live of-grid are constantly asked by others where to buy eco-friendly products that will reduce their energy consumpion or where they can get the services of installers, plumbers, electricians, builders, and other experts in green technologies. This magazine provides a place for Mariime companies to reach the very people most likely to be interested in their products.
Over ime, we hope to build our adverising directories (in the back of the magazine and on our website) to become the go-to place for anyone in the Mariimes looking for informaion about local suppliers.
Help spread the word
In the end, our goal for Of Grid East Coast is to inform, inluence, and inspire others to follow in the footsteps of the green pioneers proiled in our stories. We hope that you not only learn from them but that you share that knowledge so please pass along Of Grid East Coast to everyone you know!
