Good morning,

Most of our electricity is generated from dirty fossil fuels
such as coal and natural gas that contribute to global
warming and air and water pollution. Solar, wind, and other
forms of renewable energy are a cleaner and more sustainable
alternative that you can tap into, no matter where you live,
by purchasing renewable energy credits.

Scroll down to find out more about this idea.

Thanks for reading,

* Think of renewable energy credits (RECs) as an investment
in renewable energy. By purchasing RECs, you provide
developers with additional revenue they can use to build
new generating facilities.

* As renewable electricity flows into the power grid, it
generally displaces fossil fuel-based electricity, so in-
creased sales of RECs will keep more polluting electricity
off the grid and contribute to a more sustainable power
system.

* One REC represents the environmental attributes of one
kilowatt-hour (kWh) of renewable electricity.

* Many utilities offer RECs as part of a "green power"
program; call your local provider to find out whether it
offers such a program. Even if it doesn't, you can still
obtain RECs through independent vendors without having to
switch from your current electricity provider.
