Thinking about joining a Ready For 100 team and volunteering to help your township or borough set goals, make plans and take action to transtion to 100% renewable energy? This is the place to start.

In short, the goal of Ready For 100 is to increase the demand for renewable energy. Simple. We do this by working with our community and elected officials to first, pass a resolution declaring that goal and desire to make a plan to acheive it. 

On this page you will find the following resources (more or less in priority order) to get you started in leading this conversation in your community:

• Review the goals and stories of the national campaign
• Review the Organizing Toolkit - 6 phases

If you haven't already, www.ReadyFor100.org has some great information about the campaign, goals, lists of committed cities, description of a compliant resolution, case studies, testimonials and more.

The Organizing Toolkit is a 6 phase progression for engaging with your community and public officials and taking lasting action towards 100% Renewable Energy.

We are trying to get away from posting email addresses for our volunteers on the website. Sorry for the 2 step process, but please enter your contact info into these volunteer forms and one of our team leaders will get back to you. Another reason for this is that we don't necesarily have a single point person for each team.

One Page Flyer

This flyer has been developed as an introduction to the Ready For 100 in the Southeastern PA area. Something you can share with others, including township officials and committee members. There is so much information that could be on a flyer like this. And the more we put on it, the more likely it will become out of date. So please do not print 100's of copies and keep them for future needs. Please check back here for the latest version before any time you will want to print the flyer.

Template Presentation

At some point, you'll want to introduce Ready For 100 to the local government. If your township has an Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) or Sustainability Advisory Committee (SAC), that is the place to start. Otherwise, a planning committee or public service committee is a good place to start. 

Here's a template presentation that you can customize with local information about the work your community has already done towards reducing its energy or carbon footprint. And relate it to any goals your mayor our board of supervisors have already set. 

The narrative and example video are useful for seeing how the tone and flow of the presentation can go. Work with your county leaders to get tips for presenting and anticipated questions.

The flyer (above) is something you can leave behind with your audiance.

The most important part is engaging with your community. Hearing thier goals and concerns and encorporating into the planning and actions to be taken.
