National Grid, the power company that proivdes for much of our area, offers an "Energy Choice" program which allows consumers to choose where their energy is coming from. Several of the options are condensed into the "GreenUp" program- a program devoted to renewable sources of energy. Your families can choose from a selection of local providers (with energy coming from a variety of sources including hydro, wind, biomass, and solar) and for a reasonable price can opt to get any portion of your monthly supply from these providers. It is a big commitment, but one that will make a huge impact. Talk to your families, and check out National Grid's website for details.

This reminds me of Tom Friedman's chapter on the whole 'future of energy usage'/black box concept in Hot, Flat, and Crowded.
