Projects and Programs
In August 2009, Green Chips launched our first community efforts with small scale demonstration initiatives:

• The Shade Tree
  A solar energy retrofit and energy audit at The Shade Tree, a local shelter providing essential services to our community.
  
  
• Rebuilding Together Pilot Program
  A partnership with Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada to provide comprehensive energy audits to eligible low-income households.

In the future, Green Chips also plans to aggregate resources to provide low-interest loans to homeowners and businesses for qualifying energy efficiency, resource preservation, and carbon reduction projects. After rebates and tax credits have been utilized, Green Chips is seeking to make loans available to bridge the financing gap to ensure that renewable energy and conservation projects are affordable.

In 2010, we are going to be sponsoring our first regional conference on conserving energy in Southern Nevada and determining the next steps needed to ensure environmental sustainability in the region... sign up for our updates to receive more information as it becomes available!
