Testimonials:

“3EStrategies is a true pioneer in developing practical, effective models for a sustainable future. Their work is key to developing Oregon's clean energy industry.”

-Bill Bradbury, Secretary of State, Chairman of the Oregon Sustainability Board

“Although it would be nearly impossible to quantify, it is clear that 3EStrategies' actions have played a pivotal role in shifting market interests in Central Oregon to green building and renewable energy. Five years ago, building homes with solar and green building techniques was no more common in Central Oregon than anywhere else in the state. By 2007 Central Oregon had become one of the best places in the state to find knowledgeable builders and contractors of clean energy technologies."

-Christopher Dymond, ODOE
