The opportunity to receive the "Green Home Makeover" (GHM), worth thousands, is offered with the purchase of a $100 raffle ticket. The "GHM" starts with an audit and architectural consultation, followed by insulation, HVAC tune-up, solar elements, duct, window, and door sealing: all are improvements to reduce the home's carbon footprint and utility bill.
Founded in 1985, the Alliance promotes fair, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy policy. Additionally, The Alliance advances a philosophy that there is no conflict between: lower energy costs and lower pollution, between good jobs and regulation, or between serving the public interest and making a reasonable profit. The AAE's policy work focuses on social justice, sustainable economic development, and environmental protection. In order to achieve its mission, the Alliance has three programs: Clean Energy, Consumer Protection and Education, and Energy Efficiency. New Orleans Policy Director, Logan Atkinson-Burke, stated "The AAE's accomplishments in New Orleans demonstrate the synergies between the AAE's technical policy work and community organizing. The Alliance is committed to promoting a new vision for energy policy: taking Louisiana from an "energy state" to a clean energy leader, with New Orleans forging the path."
