The Energy Awareness Action Movement

100 no-cost energy assessment for homeowners in Wayne and Pike Counties, sustainable energy training for local youth and community wide savings.

TEAAM is a grassroots, community project designed by SEEDS to encourage local residents & homeowners to conserve energy through interactive, hands-on learning.

In 2010, as part of the SEEDS 350 kWh Saved Project, 36 local families collectively saved 113,560 kWh and $16,000 on their annual electric bills. They also kept about 84.8 metric tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere. We’re hoping to follow this impressive lead and help an addition 100 families save energy and money.

In June 2011, SEEDS trained four area high school students and adult volunteers in basic home energy energy assessing. Using these skills, two teams of two students & one adult are performing 100 no-cost energy assessments for homeowners in the region surrounding Honesdale, PA. Participating homes receive a list of recommended improvements that will help them save energy & money. They also receive a packet of money-savings discounts at a number of local businesses!

The Energy Awareness Action Movement was created to help people save energy and provide valuable professional  training to local youth. TEAAM was inspired by the success of a number of similar programs, including the Tompkins County Energy Corps Program in Tompkins County, NY. This is the first year we are running  TEAAM, so there may be some bumps in the road, but we are hoping to establish a program that will continue into  the future. After all, there is always more saving to be done!

As on September 1, 2011, TEAAM has performed 71 FREE assessments in Wayne and Pike counties. We intend to finish the remaining 29 assessments this fall. There are just a few spots let, so sign up now!
