Changing how we use energy and what kind of energy we use is the single most important thing we can do to clean up the environment and stop global warming.

CCI – based in the South Side – has been the leader on energy for nearly 30 years, helping families and businesses make that change. Just last year, CCI worked with nearly 5,000 local low-income families to help them lower their utility bills by using energy smarter. CCI is also the organization that small businesses and middle class families turn to for advice on all things energy.

At CCI, they don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk. They took an old vacant building and made it into a green showcase — with solar panels, state of the art lighting and energy usage. Thousands of school children have toured the CCI Center and learned what a difference smart energy use can make. We would love to take you on the tour, too.

CCI is now working to build the new green energy economy, and train the next generation of workers for jobs in that economy.

Of course, all of this green work takes a lot of green. So I hope you’ll join in donating to CCI. Together, we can change the world. We appreciate all the support you can give.
