advocating for a better future

accelerating the transition

We are committed to confronting the climate crisis with urgency by driving the transition to a post-fossil fuel society. Our mission is to provide educational outreach, advocate for policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and actively engage both public and private sectors in adopting renewable energy solutions. Through strategic actions such as supporting green fleets, pushing for carbon reduction goals, and fostering partnerships with media, we aim to empower communities and stakeholders to take meaningful steps toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. Join us as we work to accelerate the shift to renewable energy and a fossil-free world. Below are some policy initiatives we have taken to ensure we are reaching pivotal leaders in Knox County.
