Environmental Advocates of New York is celebrating forty years of environmental protection work in New York State.  This non-profit organization is headquartered in the state capital of Albany, where they monitor the state government’s movement on issues of environmental importance.  Environmental Advocates of New York evaluates proposed legislation and champions beneficial policies.  It makes this information available to the public through a bi-weekly e-newsletter called The [Green] Capitol Insider, which provides legislative updates, and a bi-monthly newsletter called The Green Sheet New York.  An environmental score card rating New York law makers which serves as a guide for environmental voters, is also produced through EPL/Environmental Advocates.

As stated on their website, “Environmental Advocates of New York’s Air & Energy Program is focused on reducing air pollution and promoting the clean technologies that will set New York on the path to a safe and sustainable energy future.  Our work includes promoting policies that will improve air quality and reduce global warming pollution, as well as supporting New York’s efforts to increase energy efficiency and conservation and accelerate clean energy development.”  In practical support of this position, Environmental Advocates offsets 100% of their electricity usage with wind generated renewable energy credits through Community Energy.  This purchase of wind energy supports wind farm development in New York State and leads us towards a clean energy future.

As Community Energy celebrates its ten year anniversary, we congratulate Environmental Advocates of New York on its forty year anniversary and its commitment to renewable energy.
