Description

The Organization 

Generation180 is a national non-profit organization based in Charlottesville, VA. We inspire  and equip individuals to take action on clean energy. We create opportunities for new voices to  be heard as clean energy advocates and we invest in their growth as leaders.

Momentum for clean energy and climate action is at a high point and growing, putting us on  the verge of a cultural and economic shift away from fossil fuels toward a cleaner, healthier,  more equitable future for everyone. Generation180 works to accelerate this shift by providing  individuals with clear pathways to action and popularizing a new narrative of agency and hope  that says:

• Your energy matters: you can take steps right now that will make an impact and  accelerate our transition to clean energy
• Together, we’ve got this: the solutions are ready and 100% clean energy is possible; the  transition is happening and we’re making progress; the time to engage is now
• A new, clean energy future can be more just and equitable, lifting up communities that  disproportionately suffered under the fossil-fuel economy; we are demanding that it be  so.

Generation180 runs scalable campaigns using creative communication and organizing  strategies rooted in behavioral science that inspire people to act. Current campaigns include:

• Electrify Your Ride: a campaign that educates consumers, policymakers, and the  media about electric vehicles (EVs) and equips EV enthusiasts to be effective  ambassadors
• Solar For All Schools: a campaign leading a movement of schools switching to solar  through education and advocacy
• Electric School Buses: a campaign helping school decision makers, policymakers, and  the public understand how to electrify buses as soon as possible
• Flip The Script: a program that deploys creative communications and cultural  strategies across a variety of platforms telling motivating, compelling clean energy  stories

Generation180 is helping to spur a movement that will speed up the transition toward a more  equitable clean energy economy. To learn more, please visit our website  www.Generation180.org
