Green Tip of the Month

Wonder how a business in the heart of the bustling D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown can be powered entirely by wind? Or how your company can harness solar power without a single PVC panel on your roof?

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) or Carbon Offsets can be purchased for any home or business, allowing them the energy savings they want without requiring on-site systems that may not be otherwise available or feasible. They can even be purchased to combat the electricity used by those clicking through your company's website, which facilitate a computer's carbon emissions.
