BUILDING A BETTER ENERGY FUTURE
The energy problems we face are enormous in scale, beyond what can be achieved by any government mandates or proposed regulations. The most powerful tool we have to solve our energy problems is the marketplace. Smart Energy Living AllianceTM (SELA), a nonprofit education organization, represents a cooperative effort of individuals, businesses, utilities, energy users and other partners committed to transforming the energy marketplace.
BUILDING A BETTER ENERGY FUTURE IS A TEAM EFFORT
It is not lawmakers, or manufacturers or homeowners alone. Through training, tools and resources SELA helps all energy users make smart energy decisions. As we work together to transform the energy marketplace, energy users become more educated and companies begin selling more energy-efficiency products and services. Educated energy users, acting in their own self-interest, purchasing energy-efficiency products and services from a well-trained, capable group of companies, produce economic and environmental benefits for all.
Cooperative Marketing
Cooperative marketing programs are often used by organizations wishing to accomplish specific marketing activities while maximizing their marketing
dollars. When multiple companies are committed to achieving similar goals, these programs offer value and return on investment by targeting audiences that might otherwise be out of reach. The Smart Energy Living Alliance offers a uniquely targeted and reasonably priced cooperative marketing program. Click here to learn more. (600 KB PDF)
