BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

If 10,000 Biters switch to 100% green power for their homes, we'll have the CO2-reducing effect of taking 2,231 cars off the road for a year.

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACT

 

 

Taking notes from Portugal, the United States will have its first commercial wave farm (where power's generated by ocean waves) in 2012, off the coast of Northern CA.

Think you need solar panels to get in on green energy?

The BiteNope - use that opposable thumb to pick up the phone or write an email to your local energy company asking it to offer a green option (if it doesn't already). Then give yourself a big thumbs-up.The Benefits

 

Getting a grip on pollution. Power plants are the #1 air polluter in the United States. High fives for health. An EPA study found that greener power plants could prevent 22,000 pollution-related deaths each year. A handy investment for power companies. Even big businesses like FedEx Kinko's, HSBC Bank, and Kohl's are buying green energy, because they see it's important to their customers - that'd be you.

Personally SpeakingAll of us (even Bozeman team members) have or will soon have green power options. (Aren't we special.) But if you don't have green power in your area, you can always purchase offsets to counterbalance your CO2 output.

Wanna Try?

 

If your local energy company offers a green energy option, opt-in today. If not, demand it. Check the blog for a sample letter. Green Power Locator - find out if green power's available in your area. Power Profiler - this EPA tool helps you measure your impact.
