Much of our advocacy is centered on our legal work before the Missouri Public Service Commission as well as our lobbying of the Legislature in Jefferson City. For this reason, our need for volunteers and support looks different than other environmental nonprofits. Here are the TOP THREE ways you can support our work in realizing a clean energy future!

Sometimes we ask supporters to make calls to their lawmakers to show solidarity on important issues, or sometimes we just send you information on important issues/efforts we are working on.
- Donate! Chipping in with any kind of donation is one of the most effective ways to support our mission. We have a talented and dedicated Renew Crew already doing this important work, which is why supporting us with a donation is so helpful.
- Energy Efficiency in Your Home! We often get asked “What personal actions can I take?” As a consumer of energy, or utility customer, one of the most tangible actions someone can take is making sure their home is energy efficient. There are many different measures from changing light bulbs to upgrading HVACs that can make a difference in your carbon footprint and utility bill.
