Employee caught in the Slipstream: Sam's journey to net-zero
At Slipstream, we have employees who want to walk the talk when it comes to energy efficiency. Sam Simonetta is one of those people.

As a kid, Sam dreamed of generating his own electricity from wind power, and in 2001 he and Christine decided it was time to make that happen. Their aspirations didn’t take shape overnight though.

Electricity is one of the few things in life we pay for well after we use it.
