Community Environmental Council

The CEC is a well-established environmental nonprofit focused exclusively on energy efficiency and renewables, alternative transportation, and climate change. We work from grassroots to policy levels to help community members reduce their carbon footprint and to end our region's dependency on fossil fuels to become 'Fossil Free by 2033'.

Most experts think we have already reached the end of the era of cheap oil. CEC has thus drawn a line in the sand: Fossil Free by '33. Sure it's a cute slogan -- but with monumental consequences. Because our economy is energy, we are challenging the tri-county region to set an example for our nation and the world by ending its dependence on fossil fuels -- primarily oil and coal -- and meeting its needs through conservation and renewable resources, such as solar, wind and wave energy.
