Community Energy Earth Day Challenge

Community Energy's Earth Day Challenge, in honor of the holiday that recognizes the relationship between humans and our planet, has come to a close.

We're proud to announce that twelve organizations accepted the challenge and committed to purchase a total of over 42 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of clean, homegrown wind energy. These commitments will prevent the estimated release of 24,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – approximately equivalent to planting more than 21,000 acres of trees or removing 5,000 cars from the road.

“We are so pleased that this wide range of organizations stepped up to meet the Earth Day Challenge and commit to fuel-free, renewable energy,” said Brent Alderfer, Founder and Vice-President of Community Energy. “We look forward to working with these customers to spread awareness of the benefits of wind energy.”


Organizations participating in the Earth Day Challenge received an extra level of public exposure above and beyond the marketing and public relations support provided by Community Energy to all of our customers. These include:

  • Haverford College
  • Paul Smith's College
  • Naropa University
  • Badger Balm
  • 66 North
  • VIBRAM
  • Adler Planetarium in Chicago
  • The Nathan Cummings Foundation
