Join RENEW’s Sustainer Program: Help Us Make Wisconsin’s Power Clean

Wisconsin already has a lot going for it — home of the Packers, world-class cheese, and breathtaking landscapes. But we can make it an even better place to live, work, and play by expanding renewable energy! That’s where you come in.

At RENEW Wisconsin, we’re on a mission to transition our state’s economy to clean energy, but we need more than solar panels and wind turbines. We need a powerful community of supporters backing our cause, which is why we’ve created the Sustainer Program. When you join RENEW as a sustaining member, you’re joining a community of clean energy champions with a shared commitment to a healthier, stronger Wisconsin, powered by clean energy.

Why Become a Sustainer?

Monthly donations give us the power (literally) to plan ahead and scale up our impact. Here’s what we can accomplish with that support:

  1. Reliable Energy for Change: We love sun and wind power, but nothing powers our work like consistent support from folks like you. When you become a Sustainer, your monthly donation helps us keep focused on the day-to-day, ensuring our state moves forward with positive clean energy policy and legislation!
  2. Energy Equity: Not all Wisconsinites have equal access to clean energy, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Your support can help us change that, making solar power and wind energy accessible to everyone—from Milwaukee to Hayward.
  3. Help Us Save Wisconsin’s Natural Beauty: Renewable energy reduces air and water pollution and conserves natural resources. When you support renewable energy, you’re helping protect our landscapes and climate, so future generations can enjoy our state’s natural wonders.

Perks of Becoming a RENEW Sustainer

We know you’re not just in it for the perks, but there are benefits to becoming a sustainer. Here’s what you get when you join RENEW as a sustaining member:

  • Exclusive Insider Info: You’ll get regular updates on the latest renewable energy trends in Wisconsin straight from the RENEW team!
  • VIP Invites: As a Sustainer, you’ll be the first to know about our upcoming events, whether it’s a behind-the-scenes webinar with energy experts or exclusive happy hours where we talk wind turbines over craft beer.
  • Bragging Rights: Have you ever wanted your name immortalized on our website and annual report? Consider it done! You’ll be forever listed as a clean energy champion.
  • Feel-Good Vibes: Nothing beats knowing you’re making a direct impact in securing our clean energy future. Being part of the solution is a priceless feeling.

Energy Independence: Creating a Resilient Future

As a valued supporter of RENEW Wisconsin, we know you understand the critical role that renewable energy plays in creating a sustainable and resilient future. Today, I want to share the immense importance renewable energy plays in achieving energy independence for our great state of Wisconsin.

Energy independence is about more than just reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. It ensures that our energy needs are met through locally produced, clean sources that benefit our economy, environment, and communities. Renewable energy is at the heart of the transition to energy independence. This transition will promote:

  • Community Empowerment: Wisconsin has less than 1% customer-owned clean energy sources. Local renewable energy projects empower residents, businesses, and communities by giving them greater control over their energy sources.
  • Energy Security: As a state, Wisconsin spends over $10 billion each year importing fuels to power our energy sector. Diversifying our energy mix with renewables enhances our energy security by reducing our dependence on imported fuels, making our state less vulnerable to external disruptions and price volatility.
  • Economic Benefits: Costs of solar and wind have declined significantly, making renewable energy investments the best option for our energy production. Investing in more renewable energy creates local jobs, stimulates the economy, and keeps energy dollars in our state.
  • Environmental Protection: Temperatures in Wisconsin have risen 3 degrees since 1950, and our precipitation has increased by 17% over that time. Renewable energy resources emit no greenhouse gases, which helps protect our natural landscapes, improve air and water quality, and mitigate the worst effects of climate change.

At RENEW Wisconsin, we are committed to advancing renewable energy initiatives that drive us toward energy independence. However, we cannot do this work alone. With your support, we can advocate for stronger policies, promote groundbreaking projects, and educate the public on the importance of clean energy.

Renew your commitment to Wisconsin’s energy future by donating today. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to an independent energy future for Wisconsin.

 

We appreciate your support!
