Imagine a future in which we've addressed climate change and protected biodiversity. Imagine clean air to breathe, safe walking and biking routes everywhere, low energy bills, plenty of green jobs, and quiet summer mornings. Together we can bring about this future.

Home: When we look around our households, everything from heating to stoves to clothes dryers no longer guzzle fossil fuels, their energy-efficient alternatives being more cost-effective and beneficial.

Transportation: Great city planning means we can safely bike or walk in dedicated lanes, or take electric-powered public transit. Charging our own EVs is easy and accessible.

Businesses have propelled themselves into a sustainable future, decreasing their own financial risks and vulnerabilities in helping us protect the planet.

Parks: In our free time, we can travel to expanded local parks, relax in the shade, and play games while creating a haven from the worst effects of climate change.

Energy: We live and work in net-zero carbon emissions buildings, and don’t have to worry about indoor air pollution from burning natural gas. Vulnerable communities far away from us aren't impacted by coal ash and air pollution.

Yard: We can play with our pets in the yard, next to our native and edible gardens, without concerns for harmful pesticides or the nuisance of gas-powered lawn care equipment.

Jobs: More of our kids’ jobs will involve engaging with and preserving the health of our environment, meaning they won’t have to worry about Earth’s livability for their kids.

Schools: Our kids no longer inhale diesel fumes when riding the bus to school, and feel more comfortable with clean temperature control systems and wildflower gardens.

Food: We visit our vegetable gardens or community plots in the afternoon, growing fresh, local produce for everyone to enjoy at dinner. Food waste is composted and becomes a resource.

How We Help

Accelerate Climate Solutions actively identifies and promotes practical solutions that reduce carbon pollution and support a healthy environment in Aurora, Naperville, and surrounding communities. We work with decision-makers, including governments, schools, nonprofits, businesses, and individuals to support adoption of sustainable practices across energy, transportation, waste management, building development and operations, and natural resources. We connect these stakeholders with financial incentives, financing, and installation contractors. We conduct outreach and education for elementary students, senior citizens, and everyone in between to engage all generations in creating more sustainable communities. And we work to build the next generation of environmental leaders.
