“Our next battle is to get the infrastructure in place for 21st century technology. The technology that collects the abundant and clean green free energy that nature has always provided us. The technology that helps us evolve into our better selves. That’s what grass roots advocacy will achieve for us.”  ~ Rep. Joe Salazar, Keynote Speaker, 2020 Longmont Sustainability Awards

“I encourage you to start on your carbon reduction journey, and I’d like to thank SRL for moving forward with the outstanding clean energy work they are doing in our community.”
~ Steve Szabo, Carbon Free Crusader Award, 2020 Longmont Sustainability Awards


​SRL is advocating for Longmont City Council to adopt a GoEV Cities resolution. This would declare Longmont Longmont a GoEV City and pledge to develop a Transportation Electrification Plan with implementation strategies.
