In particular, BCP works to: Improve energy efficiency in homes and businesses by encouraging upgrades in lighting, heating systems, motors and weatherization. Reduce fossil fuel use in motor vehicles and lawn equipment by promoting the use of alternative fuels, carpooling, reduced idling, mass transit and smart-growth practices. Promote the use of renewable energy sources such as biomass and solar to generate electricity and heat.

As part of our ongoing mission to foster grassroots growth throughout New England, NEGEF is developing a variety of web tools to better share news, events and resources.

As a non-profit, we are especially budget conscious. In our desire to create an advanced platform within our limited budget, we have made the tough decision to only support up-to-date browsers.
