The goal is for us to work together to support renewable energy development, minimize our environmental footprint and help the City of Cottage Grove achieve national recognition as a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Green Power Community. In November, 2007 the City of Cottage Grove began working on the goal by partnering with the two electricity providers within the City by purchasing 10 percent of the City's electricity from renewable sources. Help make a difference now and participate in the Greening the Grove Challenge by signing up for renewable power from your power provider. To find out more about renewable power options from your provider follow the links to the left for your provider.
