Park bathrooms to go green

The bathrooms at Vermont State parks are going solar with the help of some Federal stimulus money. Washington provided $600,000 in stimulus money to install solar hot water systems at campgrounds around the state. It's hoped the project will keep more people employed and save the state money. State Parks Director Craig Whipple said the parks need the money to help repair what he called a failing infrastructure.
