Program areas at Vermont Public Interest Research and Education Fund
CLIMATE AND ENERGY Vermonters know that we have a moral responsibility to protect our kids and grandkids from the environmental, economic, and social havoc that fossil fuels are wreaking. VPIREF agrees with the majority of Vermonters who want to cut our dependence on fossil fuels and take control of our energy future using clean, renewable power. VPIREF conducts independent research, public education, and grassroots outreach aimed at reducing our continued reliance on fossil fuels and other dirty energy, and instead dramatically increase the use of clean, local, renewable energy that can power Vermont's future. *** In 2022, VPIREF launced a campaign called Keep Vermont Cool aimed at connecting with Vermonters who are alarmed or concerned about climate change, educating them on the specific threats climate change poses to Vermont, and encouraging them to become more active in efforts to address the problem.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH VPIREF works to protect the public health and our environment from the hidden dangers of exposure to toxic chemicals in our everyday lives.
ZERO WASTE VPIREF works to advance policies and solutions that hold manufacturers accountable for the products they put into our environment and move us closer to zero waste in Vermont.
Other Programs include work in the areas of Democracy, Consumer Protection and Health Care Reform. See Schedule O (above) for a complete description of these programs.
