Our Clean Energy Expo last fall was a smashing success. Thank you for coming. Check out some great photos from the event HERE. It's time to Engage and EmPOWER!

At our Expo we released Missoula's 100% Clean Electricity Options Report. Please review, comment, and join the conversation - 2035 is soon!

The latest IPCC report on global climate change is out. The bad news - we need to act even faster than we thought. The good news - the time is right to accelerate current efforts, starting right here in our community. Peruse our Smart initiatives and buckets, come to our next meetup, and support us today to help bolster our work in Missoula and beyond.

Our revamped Community Calendar is up. Not only does it look snazzy, it lets us crowd source local climate-related events from community members - that means you. Add climate-related events and share this calendar!
