Stop global warming–one neighborhood at a time—
local group wants to get started

The Minneapolis Center for Energy and Environment (MNCEE) would like to collaborate with neighborhood groups and block clubs to help Minnesotans fight global warming. The group is asking for neighborhood help in developing and participating in a pilot project to work with block clubs to deliver energy saving equipment and information to their neighbors.  

Would you be willing to:
•convene block blub meetings to access the Energy Challenge website;
•pass out information, including free high efficiency lightbulbs or other energy saving equipment;
•urge your neighbors to encourage your legislators to take action on global warming;
•post a yard sign saying, for example: “Our block took the Energy Challenge to lower costs and curb climate change;”
•deliver coupons for products such as low flow shower heads and outdoor rated high efficiency bulbs.
What other ideas do you have? Would this project help you involve people in your block club?
MNCEE wants to know what you can do and what they should do to help you.
Please contact Carol Greenwood at carolgwood@comcast.net to let the group know if you are interested.
