Most people don't know that Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is steadily increasing renewable energy (solar, biomass, wind) but most of your PSE power still comes from coal, natural gas and fossil fuels in general. As a result, the average home in Washington creates about 33 pounds of carbon pollution emissions from using electricity every day.
That's why PSE created the Green Power Program. When you enroll, 100% of your energy is matched with renewable energy credits generated by "green wind and biomass farms", solar, low impact hydro and land fill biogas projects.
The program costs an average home in Washington about 12% more on their utility bill but the environmental benefits are huge and you're supporting local clean energy jobs. By signing up for the program and going carbon neutral (minus natural gas usage for heat, etc.) that's equivalent to taking a car off the road for a year or adding 173 seedling trees to the environment.
Only businesses and residents served by PSE are eligible.
