Green Power Awards

Help PennFuture salute green power heroes.
Each year PennFuture holds its Green Power: Turn It On! Awards Luncheon to celebrate the people, businesses and institutions who blaze the trail toward a cleaner and healthier Pennsylvania. Some purchase green power. Some advance policies that develop the renewable energy market. Some create new renewable supplies.

If would like to help sponsor this luncheon, please contact Mary Kane by email or 717-214-7920.

You can also nominate a Green Power Hero who makes clean energy, saves energy, puts new technologies to use, proselytizes about energy or simply makes it possible for all of us to change what kind of energy we use and how we use it. Nominations are due by the end of July for each annual autumn luncheon.
