For almost 20 years, Piedmont Environmetnal Alliance (PEA) has loved our PEApod logo. Now, to reflect our tremendous growth and impact over the past two decades, it's time for updated branding that tells the story of who we are today:
Piedmont Environmental Alliance ignites inclusive pathways where simple acts and bold initiatives strengthen the resilience and sustainability of our families, businesses, and community.
Piedmont Environmental Alliance was launched after a group of friends and congregants at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Winston-Salem organized the first Piedmont Earth Day Fair in 2006. The PEApod logo was designed by Fellowship member Brook Jones and provided a strong backdrop for PEA's early years as a volunteer-led, event focused non profit.
In the years since our founding, PEA has evolved to meet the needs of our community.
Today, our strong team of staff, volunteers, and members lead:
- Powerful campaigns to bring clean energy to the Piedmont, like our Solarize the Triad campaign which yielded 100+ solar installations and reduced carbon emissions by over 1,150 tons and the new Electrify the Triad which connects consumers and contractors to help community members upgrade to healthier, more affordable, and energy-efficient home appliances.
- Environmental Education Programs that reach 3,500+ students, introducing topics like climate action, local water systems, and more in underserved schools.
- A Green Business Network that advises 35+ local businesses in sustainability efforts and introduced the region’s first clean energy workforce training program;
- Unrivaled community events that engage 10,000+ people each year, like the Piedmont Earth Day Fair, Green Home Tour, Sustainability Roundtables, and more.
Our new logo honors our 20 year legacy of grassroots momentum and evolves to signify where we are today, representing the breadth and depth of our work to build a more sustainable, just, and resilient region.
Take a look! The team at M Creative did a stellar job. We hope you'll feel as proud as we do of our new logo.
