SEEDS and the Clean Energy Co-op will present information on energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable living, and mustering community financial resources. SEEDS has received several Pennsylvania state awards for its work. Through SEEDS’ efforts 10+ buildings are now powered by solar PV, and more and more residents and farmers are choosing sustainability over the status quo. SEEDS podcast "Today’s Main Ingredient: Bringing Farm Food to Your Table” consists of 15-minute programs, focusing on local farms and businesses. Services provided by SEEDS include virtual and physical community forums and workshops, free residential and nonprofit energy assessments, solar site assessments, and environmental education. The Clean Energy Cooperative Inc. is a member-owned, separate legal entity that 'spun-out' from SEEDS in 2014, with members throughout PA and elsewhere, that finances and develops clean energy projects for community-based businesses and non-profits. Four commercial solar projects have been completed to date, including one named the 2016 "National Best Community Renewable Energy Project" by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council. The Co-op, SEEDS, and other partners just received a 2021 Northeast PA Environmental Partnership Award for their public-private partnership that installed solar on a Wayne County government-owned building.
