Blue Horizons Project Community Council Subcommittees
Join a subcommittee to lend your voice and expertise
The Blue Horizons Project aims to enlist public support and provide easy access to resources that allow everyone to be a part of creating a clean energy future. We need support from the whole community to make the clean energy by 2042 goal a reality.
