ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
Why the system is broken — and what we can do about it
⚠️ THE PROBLEM: DIRTY ENERGY = DIRTY CONSEQUENCES
Our fossil-fueled energy system is outdated, centralized, and designed for profit — not people.
- 90% of global CO₂ emissions come from burning coal, oil & gas
- 5 million deaths/year are linked to air pollution
- 770 million people still don’t have electricity
- ️ Climate chaos is intensifying — and fossil fuels are the fuel
Big energy = big problems:
- Price spikes
- Corporate monopolies
- Grid failures
- Environmental injustice
- Energy poverty
THE SOLUTION: POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Clean, local, and community-owned energy systems put the power — literally — back in our hands.
What it means:
✅ Solar, wind, geothermal, and storage — produced locally
✅ Energy cooperatives owned by YOU, not a utility giant
✅ Resilient microgrids that don’t crash during storms
✅ Money stays in the community, not in offshore accounts
⚡ WHY IT WORKS
Community energy means:
- ️ Local jobs & economic empowerment
- ️ Zero-emissions power
- Energy security and independence
- Lower long-term costs
- Decisions made with the people, not on them
It’s not a dream — it’s already happening.
From Brooklyn to Barcelona, Cape Town to Copenhagen — communities are powering up together.
️ HOW TO MAKE THE SWITCH
Start local. Think global.
Join or start an energy co-op
Install rooftop solar or join a community solar project
Advocate for policies that support decentralized energy
Partner with others building energy justice
BIG PICTURE
Clean, community-controlled energy isn’t just about electricity —
It’s about equity. Climate. Democracy. Health.
It’s about building a world that works for everyone.
