PURCHASING GREEN POWER

Service Description

Purchasing green power, or renewable energy, can have numerous benefits for individuals, businesses, and the environment. Some of the key benefits of purchasing green power include: Reducing carbon emissions: Green power is generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, and hydro, which produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions. By purchasing green power, individuals and businesses can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change. Supporting the growth of renewable energy: Purchasing green power helps to support the growth of renewable energy sources, which can help to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and support the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Improving air and water quality: Traditional energy sources such as coal and natural gas can have negative impacts on air and water quality, leading to health problems and environmental damage. Green power, on the other hand, produces no pollutants and can help to improve air and water quality in the areas where it is produced. Demonstrating environmental leadership: By purchasing green power, individuals and businesses can demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility, which can help to build a positive reputation and attract customers, employees, and investors who value sustainability. Cost savings: While the initial cost of purchasing green power may be higher than traditional energy sources, over time, it can lead to cost savings as renewable energy becomes more affordable and energy efficiency measures are implemented. Green Building Certifications: Purchasing green power can help your building get additional points for green building certifications such as BOMA BESt and LEED. Overall, purchasing green power can provide numerous benefits, including reducing carbon emissions, supporting renewable energy growth, improving air and water quality, demonstrating environmental leadership, and potentially even leading to cost savings over time.
