Minnesota consistently ranks among the “best of” states in the USA. Culturally, economically, quality of life – these and many other measures make us proud of the accomplishments that establish our enviable position as a great place to live and work. Today, innovation in Energy generation, distribution, conservation and efficiency are once again establishing Minnesota as a leader and a symbol of new directions for the country and the world.

To be sure, we are not alone in making great strides toward improved stewardship of energy and environment, but we are certainly once again among those leading the way and reaping the economic and environmental benefits. In response to the challenges arising from climate change, responsible citizens – in the U.S., Minnesota and around the world – are determined to find better ways to use and conserve energy. Our specialty at Enerchange is to help nonprofit organizations save money by saving energy. We salute all the other efforts and creative approaches that support similar energy-related goals and objectives. This 18-minute film is a great way to understand the state-wide initiatives underway that should renew our pride as a leader in energy innovation. When rural, urban, individual and corporate assets are focused, working together for the common well-being, great things can – and do – happen.

Enjoy the film, pass it on and as you do, take a deep breath of satisfaction in what we are accomplishing together.
