In the early 1950s, ChooseRenewables™ very own Great Grandpa Lee welcomed electricity for the first time to the family farm in northeastern Montana via a Jacobs Wind Turbine Generator. Nearly sixty years and four generations later, Great Grandpa's descendents and their friends are using new tools like the Internet and web-enabled geographic information systems to empower individuals with the latest and greatest renewable energy products and services. The tools have changed, but the concepts haven't. Do more with less. Give more than you take. Treat others like you'd like to be treated. And use the precious resources that surround us in a meaningful way.

We are a collection of individuals dedicated to creating a more sustainable tomorrow. We span geographies, generations, backgrounds, ideals, religious doctrines and political ideologies — but we are all connected by the conviction that only by working together can we can leave the world in a better place than we found it.

We're on a mission to demonstrate that profits and people and planet are not mutually exclusive pursuits. And our core is simple — educate, evaluate, and empower individuals with renewable energy they'll be proud to purchase!

We embrace a simple approach to renewable energy by focusing on our four key action areas:

• Conserve : Use less energy, the best source of renewable energy
• Offset : Purchase the benefits of renewable energy from someone else
• Generate : Produce your own renewable energy on-site
• Invest : Support development of new renewable energy technologies

Thank you for Choosing Renewables!
