            www.CleanEnergyResourceTeams.org/Regions/Metro
Schools Cutting Carbon




 We are working with 36 schools in the Metro CERTs Region
to help them save money and reduce their carbon footprints!
                    www.SchoolsCuttingCarbon.org
GreenStep Cities
GreenStep Cities provides cities with a pathway toward
sustainability through best practices in:
   •   Buildings
   •   Transportation
   •   Land use and planning
   •   Environmental management
The program outlines common and effective
   approaches for local governments to save
       energy and work toward sustainability
                   www.CleanEnergyResourceTeams.org/GreenSteps
Clean Energy Census
• The Clean Energy Census is an effort to reach Minnesotans
  door to door and at events and determine what they need
  and to connect them to a wide array of energy resources such
  as utility rebates, renewable energy incentives, community
  energy programs etc.




                www.CleanEnergyResourceTeams.org/Regions/Metro
Refrigerator Round Up
• CERTs is working in partnership with the Office of Energy
  Security to make sure that there are programs all over the
  state to trade in and harvest old refrigerators as people take
  advantage of new rebates for energy efficient appliances




                 www.CleanEnergyResourceTeams.org/Regions/Metro
What Next?
• Taking our SummerHouse model to other senior living facilities
• Working with Center for Energy and Environment on a
  Residential Energy Program
• Supporting state wide CERTs initiatives such as Clean Energy
  Census and Refrigerator Roundup
• Piloting more projects in communities
• Helping you?
