Learn About Solar Energy – and Beat the Deadline
A free, one-hour workshop can help you save money, save the planet, and change your life. Join Bill Laberge, president of Grassroots Solar, on Saturday, June 8, 2019 at 10 a.m. to hear how a residential or commercial solar system could be the very best thing for you. Learn how you can generate your own power and how it can pay for itself in the cost savings from your discontinued monthly electric bill. When your solar system is paid off, you’ll have power that is truly free and completely green. Sign up for a solar installation before June 30 to receive the biggest payback possible from the Vermont and federal incentives. On July 1, the Vermont incentives decrease. The workshop will be held at the Grassroots Solar barn, 5145 Route 30, Dorset. Light refreshments will be served. To register, go to grassrootssolar.com or call 802-681-3579.

A response to the pressing challenge of climate change is urgently needed – and presents one of the greatest economic development opportunities Vermont has ever seen. Speakers will include a low-income advocate, a Vermont business owner, and legislators. They will discuss current climate action in Vermont and outline the work they are doing to ensure Vermont reduces our greenhouse gas emissions while growing our economy to benefit all Vermonters.

Attendees are encouraged to offer input, ask questions, and learn about meaningful ways to engage at the event – and beyond! The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments provided.

Can't make this event? Tw0 panels will be happening this month in Middlebury. You'll find the events on VNRC's event page, and you can follow the conversation online at

Sincerely,
The VNRC Team

Climate change is a pressing environmental challenge. It may also be the biggest economic development opportunity Vermont – and the world – has ever seen. But only if we act now to make sure our response is strong, equitable and done right.

2017 Button Up Vermont Campaign – Registration Open!

Community groups are now welcome to sign up to participate in the 2017 Button Up Vermont campaign. Sign up here.

There are a lot of reasons why your community group should participate:
• Help residents in your community save energy and money
• Help Vermont reach its goal of 90% renewables by 2050
• Be part of the effort to help the U.S. meet its obligations under the Paris Climate Agreement
Button Up Vermont is a community-based, public outreach campaign to promote home energy efficiency improvements – particularly helping people reduce heating and cooling costs. Efficiency Vermont, in partnership with a broad group of statewide and regional organizations, is planning to work with at least 25 Vermont communities to engage their residents around thermal efficiency. The campaign will focus on all Vermonters and is designed to provide opportunities for all individuals to take actions – from simple weather stripping to comprehensive home efficiency improvements.

Efficiency Vermont will provide free LEDs to community partners working at the local level to engage residents in the Button Up Vermont campaign. We will also provide educational materials, media and social media support, and guidance and training to local energy committees. In exchange, energy committees will be asked to commit to implementing at least two community engagement activities of their choosing, such as organizing home energy parties, workshops, or tabling events. Residents will be asked to commit to undertaking one or more measures to reduce their heating load and then record their actions on Energy Action Network’s Community Energy Dashboard. In addition, Efficiency Vermont and partners will place newspaper, digital, and social ads to reach all Vermonters – with the majority of the paid media aimed toward directly supporting participating communities.

Sign up today. Questions? Community partner registration closes on September 30, 2017. Please contact Paul Markowitz at Efficiency Vermont at [email protected] or 802 540 7608 with questions or more information.

We can assist you in making efficiency improvements, and help you pay for them. You'll save money and help save the home we share.
