GreenPower is a government accreditation program for renewable energy. It is bought by your energy provider on your behalf. Renewable energy is generated from sources like mini hydro, wind power and biomass which produce no net greenhouse gas emissions. When you choose to buy a GreenPower product the few cents extra you pay in addition to your electricity account each day is invested in the renewable energy sector.Because GreenPower meets the highest environmental standards, the ‘tick’ logo tells you the renewable energy you are supporting is the best choice for the environment. The government GreenPower program organise publicly available independent auditing of energy retailers’ sales and purchases, making sure retailers are investing in renewable energy on you behalf.

The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that supports the organizational procurement of green power by offering expert advice, technical support, tools and resources. Partnering with EPA can help your organization lower the transaction costs of buying green power, reduce its carbon footprint, and communicate its leadership to key stakeholders. Green power is electricity produced from a subset of renewable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydro. Buying green power is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve your organization’s environmental performance.

OLYMPIA , Wash. -- The Evergreen State College and the hard work of students have been recognized with two distinct honors in the past week for the college's commitment to renewable energy.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the list of the nation's top-ten college and university green power purchasers today - and The Evergreen State College is eighth in the nation with the amount of green power purchased. All of the electricity used at the main campus in Olympia , as well as the Tacoma campus is green, translating to enough energy for more than 1500 homes per year, according to the EPA.

Green energy is non-polluting and is renewable. Common sources of green energy include geothermal power, wind power - which is the type Evergreen purchases - and solar and tidal power. About one million homes in the U.S. purchase green energy.

Air pollution and noise don’t make good neighbors, and they’re not good for property values. Ask anyone who’s owned a house near a coal plant or busy industrial concern.

But apparently the noise of a wind farm, and even it’s gangly appearance on the horizon — if not too close — does not negatively affect real estate values, according to a study just released by the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Bekeley National Laboratory.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced its 2008 Green Power Leadership Awards and the community of Bellingham is officially one of five national winners in the Green Power Partner of the Year Category. And the only winner (in that category) that is a city, or community as the case may be. And oh, by the way, it’s the second year it has won this award.
