Mission: We exist to provide, promote, and advocate energy conservation

Over 90% of the energy that we use today comes from the burning of non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The supply of fuels is limited and yet the demand now and in the future will continue to rise. So if we use energy more efficiently and utilize alternative and renewable resources more often, we will be using good common sense as well as:

  • Saving our natural resources
  • Preserving the environment
  • Reducing carbon emissions
  • Preventing oil spills and acid rain
  • Reducing smog and global warming
  • Reducing residential energy bills thus creating more disposable income
