So, what is the Minnesota Energy Challenge? The Challenge is a web-based state-wide program designed and run by local non-profit Center for Energy and Environment to connect residents and businesses with energy efficiency and conservation.
See, you don’t have to buy a Prius or put solar panels on your home to be “green” (although, if you can, it can help). Everyone can take simple, practical steps in their homes to save energy – which will not only save you money, but also improve your
impact on the environment! The Challenge is about taking action and making a real, measurable difference.
The website will help you calculate your carbon footprint, or the amount of carbon dioxide your household produces annually. Then, we’ll show you just how much money and energy you save by taking action.
Finally, you assign your savings to a team – for your business, faith community, neighborhood, school, whatever – and see how you measure up to other groups in the state.
It’s quick, easy and real. When you take the Minnesota Energy Challenge, you make a real difference in Minnesota. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions for more information!

- Check out the easy actions that thousands are using to save money and energy in their homes.

I am insulating my pipes to conserve energy. What is the best insulation for 3/4 inch pipes.
I’m so pleased to see what it is this organization stands for. I have heard you talk at company gatherings and my daughter runs the NRP, Lowry Hill East. I have written a blog about greening of homes in Minneapolis cities. Here’s the url: http://www.homestosellmn.com. Please read and direct people to the blog if you feel so led. Thanks for all you do. Given that over 90% of home buyers consider energy efficiency to be at least somewhat important when considering which home to purchase, your existence becomes ever more important, not just from a sales standpoint, but from an environmental savings standpoint.
