Top Ten Ways to Be Green
Tip #9: Switch to "Green" Power via Your Local Utility Company
In many states, you can opt to purchase renewable energy from your local power company, and then rest easy knowing you just sent that email from your wind- or methane-powered computer.To find out if your local utility has a green power source, check the Green Power Network's U.S. map. Austin Energy generated the most green power last year, followed by Portland General Electric. Xcel Energy (in Colorado and elsewhere) had the highest number of customers who purchased renewable energy (more than 49,354).
Help nudge your local utility toward a deeper shade of green by opting into their renewable energy program.
