notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This button was distributed by a group called Solar Box Cookers. Based in Sacramento, California, the organization advocated using the thermal energy of the sun for cooking. For many people, the 1970s energy crisis was a call to action to change how electricity was generated and used. Making the choice to “go solar”—and encouraging others to do the same—reflected growing optimism about the potential of clean, accessible solar energy.
