Village Green was created by three recent college graduates living in San Francisco. Like many people, we are frustrated by America's use of energy… its contribution to global warming, addiction to foreign oil, and reliance on unstable and anti-American countries in the Middle East.
We believe that when people are given the choice and the opportunity to act, they choose products and lifestyles to minimize their environmental footprint. Village Green gives people that choice… our goal is to empower communities to move away from fossil fuels and choose renewable energy.
