Clean
Transportation for Energy Independence
The East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition (ETCFC) is nonprofit 501(c)3 working proactively with regional fleets and citizens to reduce dependence on foreign oil and improve regional air quality and sustainability. It is a voluntary effort that is built on our many partners working together to create change in East Tennessee. Won't you join us? Come to a meeting, or call us to find out how you can become an East Tennessee Actor for Change! The ETCFC is a participant in the the DOE's national Clean Cities program, which works toward these goals by furthering 1) the use of alternatives to gasoline and diesel and 2) advanced technology vehicles in the transportation sector. The five main focus areas are: Sustainable
Water Solutions for a Cleaner Future
As East Tennessee continues to embrace clean transportation and reduce its environmental footprint, attention is also turning to other critical infrastructure — especially water systems. The role of plumbers in advancing sustainable solutions is increasingly important as communities seek to minimize water waste, reduce energy consumption, and adopt greener technologies in homes and businesses alike. Modern plumbing isn't just about fixing leaks. Today’s eco-conscious plumbers are at the forefront of installing high-efficiency fixtures, optimizing hot water delivery systems, and integrating greywater reuse technologies that align with broader sustainability goals. These innovations contribute directly to energy conservation and reduced utility costs, supporting the same environmental values that guide the Clean Cities initiative. Greener
Infrastructure, One Home at a Time
The connection between clean fuels and efficient water systems is part of a larger push toward responsible resource management. Whether it’s reducing emissions through alternative transportation or saving thousands of gallons of water annually with smart plumbing choices, each effort contributes to a healthier East Tennessee. Local professionals are stepping up — and homeowners can help too, by choosing licensed plumbers who specialize in sustainable technologies. Working together across sectors, we can make measurable progress toward energy independence and a cleaner environment. It’s another way East Tennesseans can become Actors for Change in their communities.
 The mission of the National FlexFuel Vehicle Awareness Campaign is to locate and educate owners of FlexFuel Vehicles (FFVs) and motivate them to use higher blends of ethanol in order to meet the goals of the national Renewable Fuel Standard. ETCleanFuels is proud to partner with the FFV Campaign to help promote biofuels and particularly E85 and ethanol in our beautiful region – East Tennessee! |
