"Ever-Green Energy is proud to be one of founders of the Climate Smart Municipalities program.  This partnership between Minnesota and North Rheine Westphalia, Germany is accomplishing what we hoped it would.  It has been a catalyst for increasing the pace of change in the Minnesota communities participating in the program.  Now those communities are also serving as a demonstration of what is possible to other communities across the State and the upper Midwest.  This program is demonstrating that through local leadership and partnership, cities of all sizes are able to advance their energy systems and reduce their carbon emissions more quickly than imagined just a few years ago."
