This year, the Chittenden Energy and Climate Committee is challenging our whole community to get ready, get set, and save! Energy, money, and our climate, that is.
We're challenging as many local folks as possible to take at least one action that helps to:
Reduce energy use and costs
Shift to cleaner, greener energy sources
Improve the health of our homes and living spaces
Adapt to climate change and reduce our climate impacts
Engage, learn, share, help, and connect locally!
We think Chittenden can take at least 500 energy actions this year.
