C4w sent out 12 8-page monthly newsletters to all members and some non- members. The monthly newsletters usually expand on the stories that are in the weekly and try to be a little more in-depth when it comes to renewable energy topics. C4w gave interviews to the local tv stations and newspapers multiple times during the year and has become the go-to authority on renewable energy in the region. C4w was quoted in three national publications in 2014.
