Beth Sachs

Founding Director, Vermont Energy Investment Corporation

What will bring us to the next level in meeting the environmental and energy challenges that we are facing today is making the connection between the environment, the economy, and social justice.

All people need and deserve clean air, clean water, the means to support themselves, and freedom to live their lives with dignity.

We need to understand that we’re all in this together, and truly care about each other. We need to reach out and listen to people we don’t meet in the course of our everyday lives.

By engaging, we become more aware human beings, and together we will find new ideas and solutions that we won’t come up with in isolation from each other.
