Events and Resources for the General Public

Our K-12 educational resources and programs such as the Junior Solar Sprint engage hundreds of teachers and tens of thousands of students each year. Our high profile public events such as the Green Building Open House reach millions of people in person and through the media. These events, programs, and services strive to improve our quality of life and make our goal of zero oil use and zero climate change emissions a reality.
NESEA’s History and Vision
NESEA was started during the 1970s oil embargo in recognition of the need to reduce the world’s dependence on oil, and to foster the systems that sustain planetary health. Over the past 30 years its members have created a vision of sustainable energy systems for the Northeast, translated this vision into practical applications, and created profitable businesses that strive to bring this vision to reality. Today, NESEA is a brain trust. Its regional focus gives it the ability to address local issues more finely with appropriate bioregional and politically sensitive solutions. NESEA maintains a deserved reputation for being expert and experienced. It provides credible information derived from direct experience of professionals in the field.If You Aspire to Practice Sustainability
