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.

Thank you for a successful July Plastics Drive!

Thanks to all of you who came out for July's Plastics Recycling Drive. A special thanks to all of our volunteers who helped out over the holiday weekend. The drive was featured on KXLH this weekend, check out the story and video clip!

The next Plastics Drive will be September 3-6 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. It is located at 1100 N. Last Chance Gulch. 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. Please call us at 406-449-6008 or email us at Recycle @ Savemobile.org if you want to volunteer!

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!
