We use 100% Green-e certified wind power.
Announcing Jack and Jill uses wind power for our business. We choose to purchase wind power for our home as well as our office to
help protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gasses.
Why We Use 100% Wind Power
We
believe that all of us should contribute to the health of our planet in
as many ways as we can. We believe that renewable energy sources are important
to our future. Our use of wind power, as a renewable energy source creates
less air pollution, reduces overall greenhouse gas emissions and provides
multiple benefits for our society and our environment.
Environmental
Benefits: Electricity production is the main source of U.S. industrial
air pollution. Fossil fueled generators cause 67% of sulfur dioxide emissions,
23% of nitrogen oxide emissions, and 40% of man-made carbon dioxide emissions.
These emissions lead to smog, acid rain and haze and increase the risk
of climate change. However, renewable electricity production causes zero
or minimal emissions and is environmentally preferable.
Sustainability:
Renewables are locally and readily available and naturally replenished.
The use of wind power, and other renewable energy sources, preserves the
reserves of non renewable fuels such as gas, coal and oil.
Energy
Security: Greater use of renewable energy reduces dependence
on foreign oil. Renewable energy projects use local energy sources and
are smaller in scale, more dispersed and less vulnerable to disruptions.
Economic
Stimulus: Renewable generators support local economies, create
jobs, use native resources and localize electricity production. Energy
dollars are spent in the local economy and not oversees, and renewable
generators contribute to local tax revenue, fostering economic growth.
Renewable energy technologies can be labor intensive, employing local
personnel whose wages provide more income to the local economy. Agriculture
and forestry often benefit.
FSC Certified Envelopes: Our envelopes are Linen and are FSC certified paper made with 100% post
consumer fiber, Recycled Bright White is the enviromentally-preferred
paper choice. Processed chlorine free and acid free. Green Seal
certified.
