Energy Ambassador

What does it mean to be an Renewable Energy Ambassador?
REAs not only impact their buildings, but also help transform the Earth for a better future. The transition to renewable energy sources won’t be easy but with the help of REAs, we can meet this challenge one building at a time.
1. How can you help as an Ambassador?
Our mission is to reduce greenhouse gases in the cities and as an Ambassador, you will raise awareness about renewable energy. Whether you’re a condo/co-op owner, renter, or a college student, you can help to create a healthier environment because everyone can use renewable energy and/or purchase carbon offsets. Many of your neighbors aren’t aware of the benefits of renewable energy. You’ll help educate your neighbors about the importance of living low carbon lifestyles. To do this, you can host events in your building. You’ll have a monthly budget and the freedom to choose how you want to spread the message. Virimodo provides 15 hours of cost- free training in the areas of renewable energy, energy widgets, and the industry ecosystem. You’ll have the resources you need to be an incredible renewable energy ambassador!
