Buy Green Energy

Buy Green Power

Did you know you can choose what kind of electricity you buy from your electric company? Buying clean and renewable or "green" energy is the single most powerful action a family or business can take to fight pollution and climate disruption. Find out how!

CLEAN is a collaborative movement of organizations and individuals organizing around a specific "CALL TO ACTION."

The "call" is to implement new energy policies based on decentralized control of energy, whereby energy is generated by regionally appropriate, reliable, and renewable resources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal.

Cape Wind Approval

On April 28, 2010 Secretary Salazar released a positive Record of Decision for Cape Wind. This historic decision is not only a victory for Massachusetts jobs, clean energy but also of citizen participation. Thank you!

The historic decision by U.S. Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar to allow the Cape Wind project to move ahead means more Massachusetts jobs and is a real demonstration of what can happen when concerned citizens are mobilized through effective grassroots organization.

A Note of Thanks.
