Vantage Electric Vehicle
S.A.V.E. is currrently borrowing an electric vehicle from Vantage Electric. This vehicle uses no gas and no oil and is a great way to use renewable energy now. It is charged by using green power from Northwestern's E+ program or from a renewable energy trailer. The vehicle can travel a maximum of 35 miles per hour and has a range of 30 to 40 miles on one charge. It is great for city travel. Please contact S.A.V.E. if you would like more information.

Please visit our plastic recycling page to learn more about which types of plastic we can accept. Volunteers are needed to greet community members and assist them with separating their plastics.

Helena Green Blocks Update
The Green Blocks Pilot Project has changed the neighborhood requirement for applications. Instead of applying as a block with your neighbors, you can now apply as an individual household. By making this change, NorthWestern Energy and the City of Helena hope that more households will be able to participate in the program. Applications are due on Wednesday, July 28th. Please read the following letter for more detailed information and important contacts. See the city's website for more information about how to get involved!
