Through its Changing Face of Chittenden County project, the Champlain Initiative is asking people how they are changing the ways they heat their homes, get to work and plan for our energy future. 

Over the next year, the project will make connections between the issues of energy, health, our changing population and information technologies, tell the stories of people embracing changes, and provide resources for people to take action.
