“When I first joined USES, I was trying out being part of multiple environmental groups. I decided to focus most of my energy on USES because they allowed me to play a very active role, like planning and leading our monthly grassroots gathering meetings or creating resources. When I started, I was very new to the solar industry, I have learned so much from USES members.”
