New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/26/2016 -- The staff at Kiwi Energy, a NYC based energy retailer, rolled up their sleeves once again in support of La Casita Verde's composting project. Kiwi Energy has been a supporter of La Casita Verde since its inception in 2013 and is proud to support this worthy project and help see the community garden grow.

La Casita Verde is a unique community garden that focuses on composting to reduce food waste, supporting the soil food web, and offering produce to the local participating community. The composting project consists of several solar-powered, aerated static piles that biodegrade organic materials without requiring physical manipulation during primary composting to create semi-automated composting. Additional benefits include saving time and reducing emissions of VOC's (volatile organic compounds) to result in a higher quality compost product.

Kiwi Energy's previous donations to La Casita Verde include a solar-powered gazebo that charges power tools used in the constriction of the garden and the composting enclosures as well as to power the aerated static piles in composting. "It takes a lot of will power and physical power to transform a derelict, contaminated lot like this into a healthful space that supports life. The members of La Casita Verde cannot do it alone and are thankful for organizations, like Kiwi Energy, who continue to support our mission and draw attention to the positive ways we can shape our neighborhoods together" – Brooke Singer, Founder of La Castia Verde.

Established in 2013, La Casita Verde was started by a group of volunteers and community activists who wanted to convert a 40 year old abandoned lot in Williamsburg Brooklyn into a vibrant green corner for people of its community and beyond. The garden offers visitors and members an array of programs with the opportunity to participate in any program as well as learn about the soil food web system – a complex living system in soil that interacts with the environment, plants, and our bodies. Visitors also learn how to make rich soil, grow healthy food, and understand the values of permaculture – all through the union of community, art and science.

Kiwi Energy supports urban agriculture and community gardening but also recognizes the importance of La Casita Verde's mission to build an urban green space for the public to learn about and participate in the soil food web. "Kiwi Energy plans to continue its support of La Casita Verde and looks forward to participating and contributing with them on future projects" –Richard Booth, President of Retail Operations at Kiwi Energy.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/26/2016 -- Kiwi Energy launched their partnership with SunPower on Earth Day in their efforts to raise awareness of environmental issues and help further reduce carbon emissions. Qualifying Kiwi Energy customers will have access to flexible financing programs on the lease or purchase of a solar power system with little to no upfront costs. Qualified New York homeowners that install solar can also benefit from local incentives that provide savings through a New York State personal tax credit and a New York City property tax abatement.

Solar panels from SunPower, one of the world's most innovative and sustainable energy companies with 30 years of experience, are the most efficient panels commercially available today. This means that fewer panels are required relative to a conventional system with the same output capacity. They are also backed by the industry's best 25-year power and product warranty.

New York Based Non-Profit Continues to Brighten Neighborhoods

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/19/2016 -- Kiwi Energy, a leading New York based energy retailer, is contributing to Green Guerillas' Harvest for Neighborhoods campaign. Green Guerillas is a nonprofit environmental group that has been dedicated to strengthening and preserving urban gardens in New York City for over 40 years. Green Guerillas started in 1973 at a time when many parts of New York City were suffering a financial crisis. During this time, then Parks Commissioner Thomas Hoving's campaign sought to quickly transform vacant and abandoned lots into usable open spaces. This paved the way for Green Guerillas and the 1970s community garden movement which began in the Lower East Side. Today, more than 600 community gardens serve as testaments to the skill, creativity, and determination of New York City's community gardeners. They grow food for their families and neighbors, and connect city kids to the earth. They also give seniors cool green spaces to pass summer days and allow people to kneel down together and garden in the city.

About The Harvest for Neighborhoods Campaign
The Harvest for Neighborhoods Campaign is a Green Guerillas program in which they help community gardeners in Brooklyn, Harlem and the South Bronx produce an increase in food production that plays an important role in food security for neighborhoods known as food deserts. They engage gardeners in a range of activities to help them grow food, recruit new urban farmers, revitalize under-utilized garden space, manage community farmers markets, and extend the growing season. Kiwi Energy, now in their second year of support of Green Guerillas is delighted to support this initiative. "Kiwi Energy understands the importance of supporting organizations like Green Guerillas that engage communities to achieve social and environmental goals." –Richard Booth, President of Retail Operations.

Kiwi Energy understands that urban development is an important step towards an environmentally conscious community and Green Guerillas is at the forefront of those individuals and groups fighting to keep the city as green as possible.

Energy Supplier Backs Youth Leadership Program in Conjunction with Local Peruvian University UNAMAD

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/05/2016 -- As a clean energy advocate, the team at Kiwi Energy understands the importance of making an investment now for tomorrow. Their efforts to build a better future for the world are seen in numerous efforts, including their support of Wild Forests & Fauna, and more specifically their Future Leaders Program. March 2016 marked the 3rd Future Leaders workshop, hosted in the Amazon rainforest. Future Leaders is a multi-year youth leadership program that provides aspiring young individuals with skills in sustainable business, innovation, and leadership. In this way Kiwi Energy is helping to build a better future.

Each year the workshops for the program have had different elements. The first year, 16 young leaders were introduced to principles in sustainability and ecology, business modeling, and idea generation. That workshop culminated in a business case competition – ultimately the winning team went on to found a bicycle ecotourism company in Madre de Dios, Peru.

The second year, new and past participants focused more on idea generation by using IDEO's human centered design approach to visioning. At the end of the workshop, the 18 participants presented their vision of a sustainable Madre de Dios region in 2050. Currently the region's forests are threatened by illegal gold mining and logging. Ecotourism is one of the main drivers of environmental conservation in the Madre de Dios Amazon region.

The latest workshop included a partnership with the local Peruvian university (UNAMAD) and a prominent ecotourism company in the region. Wild Forests & Fauna (WFF) supports and develops place-based organizations, projects, and individuals that share their mission to protect and restore threatened forests and species. Based out of Seattle, Washington, WFF works around the world to ensure that the planet's forests and wildlife are protected and thriving for current and future generations.

Richard Booth, President of Retail Operations at Kiwi Energy, spoke about the workshop and what it means to all parties "The Future Leaders program is rewarding, and beneficial for the WFF mission and of course the students themselves." He continued, saying "We at Kiwi Energy are proud to partner with such a respected organization dedicated to youth environmental education, who have the ability to shape the future of our planet."
