This conference could not come at a more important time. Our economy is hurting, energy prices are on the rise, and the impacts of global warming are becoming increasingly clear. Minnesotans of all stripes want to know what they can do. It just so happens that many of the solutions to our global climate crisis are also the ones that are going to help our economy and our communities thrive.

The audience will be diverse. CERTs 2009 will attract farmers, utility representatives, school staff, local officials, students, business owners, and Minnesota community members from many other walks of life—all of whom want to learn what people are doing across the state, connect, and share resources.

You won't want to miss it! Sponsor or exhibit today!

This year’s event will start with optional In-Depth Workshops and an Evening Reception on February 10th followed by the Daylong Conference on the 11th. Wind, solar, biogas, efficient cooling, heating and lighting, and fuel-efficient cars will be discussed. We will hear from successful CERTs-supported projects, trailblazing green cities and schools, and we will learn the latest about green jobs, green manufacturing, and green investment & financing in Minnesota. Networking sessions will allow like-minded attendees to learn from one another, and a conference documentary and online discussion forum will allow us to harness our collective resources and share them beyond the event.

Join us in helping Minnesota communities determine their clean energy future!
