Mission
Green Energy Team is a nonprofit organization founded by like-minded university students around Illinois. We came together in order to narrow the poverty gap by helping American families around the country save money on their energy bills. We will identify where the need lies, and provide individuals with environmentally friendly energy solutions at no cost. This is accomplished primarily through Green Energy Team's recycling program, which is done at NO COST to our participants. All the proceeds from our recycling program go to donating green technology solutions to low income and hard working American families. What makes us different from other recycling programs is we formally recycle 100% of our recycling intake, unlike other recycling organizations.
We believe that in order to do our part to help solve the energy crisis, we must take “green” energy solutions to those who need them most. The burden of falling behind on a mortgage, rent payments, or utility bills can push many American families into foreclosure and onto the streets. Our solar solutions are capable of yielding monthly savings between 30 and 80 percent. In some states, families will even be able to sell back surplus energy to their current energy providers through a photovoltaic system, known as PV system. Green Energy Team also provides solar air heaters, solar powered water heaters, and wind solutions, all with significant benefit to lowing living costs.
However, in order for our organization to meet the growing demand in our communities, we need your help. As any nonprofit organization, we pay primary operating costs through donations, fundraising, and our recycling program. Some live by the adage that every problem has a solution. G.E.T maintains that the solution to our nation’s energy crisis can be found in environmentally friendly power sources and green recycling. Our organization hopes to help the less fortunate acquire a better, greener life, and with your help, we are confident that our goal will be accomplished.
