The Sierra Club is the largest and oldest environmental non-profit organization in the country. “Ready for 100” is just one of its many campaigns.

​

1 in 4 Americans lives in a community committed to 100% clean, renewable energy. Twenty-eight percent of the population will be powered by clean sources of electricity such as wind and solar. A transition to 100% clean electricity will decrease the amount of carbon polluting the air by 260 million metric tons per year.

​

The Sierra Club and world-famous ice-cream maker and activist company  Ben & Jerry’s, have joined forces across the country to advance our shared vision for a just and equitable transition. Volunteers at a dozen ice-cream shops throughout the U.S. are explaining the importance of 100% clean, renewable energy to the community and asking them to get involved.

​

As we have less than 11 years to mitigate climate change, the quickest and most effective way is to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy.

​

Through events like this, the Sierra Club foresees community members stepping up to the plate and taking action.

​

In Connecticut, we are co-hosting one event on October 5th from 12:00-4:00 pm at Ben & Jerry’s at 5 ½ S Main Street, West Hartford, and on October 19th from 1:00-5:00 pm at Ben & Jerry’s at 159 Temple Street, New Haven.
