The high point of Mass Energy&#8217;s annual meetings is always the recognition of people and organizations who are leading the way to a new energy future in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and New England.  This year&#8217;s awardees are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Solarize Massachusetts<\/b> &#8211; The innovative Solarize Mass. program, brainchild of a partnership between Mass. DOER and Mass. Clean Energy Center, has made solar more accessible for residents across the state through targeted community-based outreach.<\/li>\n<li><b>Representative Lori Ehrlich<\/b> &#8211; As state Representative for the Massachusetts 8th Essex District, Lori has worked tirelessly on efforts to shut down coal generation, fix gas leaks, and promote renewable energy in MA.<\/li>\n<li><b>Conservation Law Foundation<\/b> &#8211; Since 1966, CLF&#8217;s mission has been to advocate on behalf of the region&#8217;s environment and its communities. CLF has recently focused on natural gas leaks and their threat to our climate and health.<\/li>\n<li><b>Health Care Without Harm<\/b> &#8211; Together with its partners, Health Care Without Harm shares a vision of a health care system that promotes the health of people and the environment. We applaud the connection they&#8217;ve made between shutting down fossil fuels and promoting health.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mount St. Mary&#8217;s Abbey<\/b> &#8211; The sisters at Mount St. Mary&#8217;s Abbey in Wrentham have been using their land to support renewable energy projects, including their own 100kW wind turbine and more recently an 8.4 MW solar array in partnership with the city of Franklin. The sisters also run an on-site candy factory (Get ready to sample their handmade candy during the event!).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please RSVP by October 23 at <a href=\"http:\/\/massenergy31st.eventbrite.com\" target=\"_blank\">massenergy31st.eventbrite.com<\/a>, or contact Brian Sewell at 617-524-3950 x142 or <a href=\"mailto:brian@massenergy.org\" target=\"_blank\">via e-mail<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.massenergy.org\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Mass Energy Consumers Alliance<\/a> is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1982 to provide discount heating oil to Massachusetts residents.
