As a long-time supporter of renewable energy and clean energy, we are very excited to join New Generation Energy's Community Green Partner program.  The program is part of New Generation Energy's efforts to promote sustainable, community-anchored clean energy and energy efficiency projects.  It brings together corporate sponsors, like Lightbulb First, and community organizations which need to save money on energy bills and wish to reduce their environmental impact in the bargain.

For Lightbulb First, this program represents a golden opportunity to reinforce our commitment to energy efficiency and community involvement.  The movement to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy, and to reduce energy use through efficiency measures, is not, for us, just about reducing environmental impact and saving money - although those are certainly important goals!  It is also about strengthening local ties, reinvigorating our communities, and connecting people with their neighbors.

New Generation Energy's focus on supporting energy efficiency for worthwhile community organizations and charities is a perfect example of how we can all become richer by reducing our environmental impact - in more ways than one.  We were excited to support New Generation Energy's mission when we helped launch their new website last summer, and are thrilled to renew our commitment by joining this important program.
