Joyspotting clean energy solutions

April 17, 2024

I often play I-Spy with my four-year old. I spy with my little eye... a wind turbine! an electric bus! a heat pump! a bike lane! Want to join us in finding clean energy solutions where you live and play?

This Earth Month help us celebrate all the ways communities are adapting to cleaner, healthier ways of living- let’s do some #joyspotting for clean energy! Thanks to advocates like you helping to progress climate policy, there are more ways than ever that people are leaning into the transition to a clean-powered future, and we’re starting to see more solutions on our streets.

When you see an example of clean energy powering your neighborhood–an electric delivery van, a new EV charging station, cooking oil receptacles outside of restaurants– take a picture and share it on your social media channels of choice using #JoyspotCleanEnergy. Tag us too:
