A grassroots group of Keene residents, businesses, and leaders from education, faith, nonprofit and other sectors and allies from neighboring communities have voiced their support for making energy efficiency and renewable energy options accessible for residents and businesses.
If you support clean, renewable energy you are a part of our team…
- Maybe you marched in the People’s Climate March or attended an Earth Day festival…
- Perhaps you spoke up at one of the committee meetings at City Hall expressing your hopes for the future of our community…or celebrated when the Sustainable Energy Resolution passed…
- Maybe your organization submitted a letter of support…
- Or you attended an event on energy efficiency or another clean energy event
- Or you are just excited about clean energy and want to find a way to support its growth.
All are welcome and all are needed! Please join us!
The hands-on organization and nuts and bolts planning for this movement is largely led by two organizations with the support of a vast collation of renewable energy, environmental, and other organizations in the Monadnock region.
The Clean Energy Team of the Monadnock Progressive Alliance
Through our actions to date, the Clean Energy Team has connected with a range of regional and state allies who are invested in actions to make energy efficiency and renewable energy options accessible for residents and businesses and protect our environment. Together, we are identifying critical and manageable steps to catalyze change, as we move forward.
