Our group needs new Energy! Join us and help shape our policies and actions toward cutting energy use and hence greenhouse gas emissions in New England.

This grew out of the Climate Action group and with a specific focus on engaging with Renewable Energy development on the ground living in the activated New England Renewable Energy Zone (NE REZ)

facilitating community engagement from ordinary citizens in public policy and with a view that attention to
environmental health in all decision making is the bedrock for achieving community health.
