Save energy, save money, and strengthen the local economy

Get Your Green Back Tompkins

Get Your GreenBack Tompkins is a community-initiated and community-supported campaign that works collaboratively to help people and organizations take key steps in the areas of food, transportation, waste and building energy that simultaneously reduces our community’s carbon emissions, saves money and creates a socially just local economy.

Get Your GreenBack was started in 2011 and is ending in 2023. Much of its work around energy is being continued under the Smart Energy Choices program.
