Creating Sustainable Communities

Creating sustainable communities starts with the small changes each of us can make in our own lives - like the kind of energy efficient home improvements promoted through the ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes incentive program.

Reducing the energy we use to run our homes is only the first step in making sure that our resources and our environment remain healthy for generations to come.
