Green Energy Neighbors

Who are the Green Energy Neighbors?

Green Energy Neighbors (GEN) is a program developed by A2ZERO Ambassadors who are passionate about advancing carbon neutrality and are now housed under the Ann Arbor Chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby. GEN aims to connect households and individuals considering home efficiency and energy improvements with community members (mentors) who have already made these changes to learn about their experience. Our network is free of charge and open to all interested in reducing their home’s carbon footprint.

Disclaimer: The Green Energy Neighbors are a community-based network, not licensed professionals. The stories and experiences provided by Mentors should not be taken as professional advice. Any information shared through the Green Energy Neighbors program is informal and based only on personal experiences. Always consult a licensed professional before pursuing work on a building, home, or structure of any kind.
