With the economy in shambles and the jobless rate close to the record high, the recession seems to be hitting very close to home for Rhode Island residents. The solution for some: Green Energy. South Kingstown residents Linda Lapin and Jim Normann, parents of 08’ SKHS graduate Alena Normann, have been living the green life long before it was the cool thing to do.
