    People of color are the most effected by environmental irresponsibility in my community and generally in every community. They are prioritized less, do not have clean water, do not have access to healthy food, do not have clean community spaces and are more apt to get sick.

    Less than 3 more cents per kilowatt hour to choose solar and wind clean energy than traditional energy using Clean Choice and keeping our  ComEd account. So easy to switch and not much of an increase for a good cause!

    This has been an interesting journey. Although I don’t go online consistently to check in, the choices always seem to be on my mind

    It’s so easy to go on the website of anyone who sends you mail and to click “go paperless”.
