Clean Energy

Clean energy refers to power sources that are renewable and sustainable. Solar, wind, hydro and biomass are all examples of this. The EPAs Web site is particularly helpful when trying to understand how personal energy use affects the environment. It also has great tips about how to reduce personal impact.

State and local programs are working hard at the community level to identify and implement ways to reduce impact and draft policies that promote this agenda. There are many tools available today to help everyone understand what is happening and how we are all a part of it. A simple Internet search can reveal tools that measure the impact of your personal energy use.

There are also searchable online directories of clean energy resources in your neighborhood and all over the country. Other tools can calculate greenhouse gas equivalencies and translate reduction amounts in to easy-to-understand comparisons. The Internet has become a valuable tool for education and activism.
