The Minnesota Renewable Energy Society (MRES) is a member-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in Minneapolis in 1978 and incorporated in Minnesota in 1979 to promote the use of, and to engage in advocacy for, renewable energies in Minnesota through education and through the demonstration of practical applications. MRES is involved in education, awareness, and advocacy efforts for all forms of renewable energy, with a particular emphasis on solar technologies. Throughout the year, MRES presents renewable energy classes and workshops and events such as the Solar Boat Regatta, Minnesota Solar Tour, and The Eco Experience at the Minnesota State Fair. About Us
Solar HeroBOULDER, Colo. - (May 20, 2009) - Solar Today magazine, the print and online publication of the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), recently published a story about Doug Shoemaker. Solar Today recognized Doug for the many renewable energy and community projects in which he’s been involved. As a “volunteer gone wild,” he’s become a keystone in the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society (MRES). In addition to his work for MRES, Doug now serves on about 20 renewable energy related committees and task forces. He chairs the Northland Bioneers, a sustainability group, and last year began working with 3M to help establish a Green Jobs Task Force.
