Vermonters
for a Clean
Environment

Bringing Environmental Justice and Corporate Accountability to Vermont Communities Since 1999

About Us
Vermonters for a Clean Environment is a statewide grassroots organization and non-profit corporation. We believe that Vermont’s economic health depends on its environmental health.

VCE was founded in 1999 by citizens in southwestern Vermont who joined together to deal with an inappropriate industrial development project. VCE’s members now come from all over Vermont.

 We’re pleased to make our annual contribution to the important work VCE continues to provide to VT communities. There’s no one else who does what you do — and sadly the need seems to be increasing despite Vermont’s green reputation. I sleep better knowing you’re working on behalf of all of us who care about a healthy and sustainable place to live.

 Just wanting to thank all of you for the enormous impact you have on protecting Vermont and Vermonters from unwanted, harmful development. All of you are sometimes the only entity standing in the way of powerful corporations which do not take into consideration the values which we hold dear. All of you are appreciated more than you know.

Solar for All Vermont is a federally funded program. The Vermont Department of Public Service received over $62 million to help Vermonters with low income access the benefits of solar energy. The Residential Assistance in Solar Energy (RAISE) Program is one of three programs that will be supported by this funding. RAISE will offer financial support to help Vermonters install small residential rooftop solar arrays. The Department of Public Service, with the support of their public engagement contractor VEIC, is holding a series of focus group discussions to help inform what the RAISE program will look like. Participants will receive a $50 gift card for sharing their perspectives and light refreshments will be available at in person events.
