The Connecticut town that was once home to Mark Twain and Meatloaf (the singer, not the comfort food) has become the 50th community in that state to commit to Smartpower’s 20% by 2010 program. This week the Redding Board of Selectman voted to join the program, promising that municipal buildings would get 20% of their electricity from clean, renewable power sources. In addition, Redding residents are being urged to sign up for renewable power at home–something residents all over Connecticut and in ten other states can already do.

And even if your state doesn’t yet offer a green power provider, everyone in the US can buy Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to make sure the power you use contributes to the development of more renewable power sources.
