Can't Buy Green Power?
You can still support renewable energy development by buying "green
tags," which embody the environmental benefits of the renewable
power - the power itself is sold into local power markets near the
installation.
Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's, for instance, just purchased
enough green tags to equal 5,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions,
offsetting one year's carbon dioxide emissions from its Vermont
ice cream production facilities. Ben & Jerry's bought the green
tags from NativeEnergy, which will use the funds to support the
new Rosebud Sioux Wind Turbine Project in South Dakota. Find out
