Sitt Samira - Samira El Khoury Aouad - a mother of 3 and a house wife, widowed in 2002, and a Scrabble aficionada, became a Net zero trendsetter in a 40.000 populated village in Amchit Lebanon, by shifting her life style from a heavy Smoker at the age of 80, to caring for the environment not just by quitting smoking overnight but by being the first to install a photovoltaic system relieving her from burning diesel fuel for power generation! During her interview on November 23rd 2022, she highlighted her freedom of breathing but also her freedom from all these undesirable power bills her neighbors and other family members are understatingly bearing. At the age of 86 she said: “it is not too late to shift to green energy for a smarter living” (en)
