Take Action in Your Community: Request an NYCP Team Member to Present on NY’s Clean Energy Transition

“Working for Change” is designed to inspire the next generation of climate leaders and support the development of New York’s clean energy workforce, driving progress in the state’s rapidly growing clean energy economy.

“Plug in the Sun” workshop, geared towards groups of 9 to 12-year-olds. An interactive, curriculum-linked workshop focused on increasing awareness of renewable energy and solar power. Students will learn about solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems, and how solar panels have been used in a variety of innovations. Using interactive experiments, students will discover how angles, light color and certain elements can affect the energy output of solar panels. The workshop is 1.5-2 hours total

Our “Breathe Easy” event is dedicated to helping residents understand practical, low- and no-cost ways to make homes healthier, more comfortable, and energy-efficient. Attendees will receive energy-saving kits, complete with resources and demonstrations on how to install and use them.
New Yorkers for Clean Power presents “Green the Grid & Electrify Everything“, an engaging and illustrated walk through the Climate Act and all things Clean Power in New York. Green the Grid answers the questions you have and breaks down jargon to make the answers accessible to non-experts, while also including enough detail to engage policy enthusiasts. Come away energized and hopeful about the climate action path before us.

Action at the State Level:

Tell Gov. Hochul Sign the Repeal of the “100ft Rule”

This June, the legislature passed A.8888/S.8417 to end the 100-Foot Rule. For decades, gas utilities have been using the 100-Foot Rule to add at least $200 million every year to our gas bills to pay for extra gas infrastructure and increase their already obscene profits! New York’s families and seniors have paid at least $2 billion over the last ten years for new gas pipes within 100 feet of an existing service line. That money could have been spent on cleaner, more efficient heating and cooling systems! That’s why we’re calling on Governor Hochul to repeal the 100-foot rule by signing this bill into law immediately!

Let’s remind the Governor that every day without her signature, New Yorkers are continuing to pay for the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure––and funding the climate crisis.

Use this tool to urge Governor Hochul to sign the 100-ft Repeal.
