As an outreach of the Activist Resource Group, the Environmental Resource Group researches, promotes, and reports on technologies and practices that promote sustainable living.

Our goal is to help foster a healthy ecosystem on planet Earth so it can continue to support human habitation. We hope we reach our goal. As of 2010, our operations are wind powered.
