According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a large portion of energy consumed in the
U.S. is wasted through transmission, heat loss and inefficient technology -- costing you
money as well as spiking our carbon pollution.
Energy efficiency is something everyone can do, and it is an easy, cost-effective way to
mitigate carbon emissions, have higher air quality, and cut costs for the community.
Steps Toward Energy Efficiency Excellence:
Join the fight against carbon emissions by joining the Grand Rapids 2030 District. This public-private partnership is a community collaboration that strives for energy efficiency, sustainable transportation solutions, and intelligent water management. Join #GR2030 today.
