NEE Offsets 100% of our Electrical Use

New England Environmental, Inc. (NEE) has partnered withRenewable Choice to support the generating of renewable energyand offset the impact of 100 % of the electricity we use. Bypurchasing renewable energy credits, we are committed to takeresponsibility for the emissions generated from our electricity use.We still purchase our electricity from WMECO, but by paying a littleextra we are also purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs) toensure that clean, wind energy is being generated and put back onthe national power grid. Renewable Choice is a leading provider ofrenewable energy and carbon offsets for companies, as well as individuals. Renewable Choice partners with renewable energy producers like those who produce wind power.By purchasing renewable energy, we are committed to:

  • Helping reduce our dependency on fossil fuels
  • Promoting cleaner air
  • Fighting global climate change

To take care of its remaining electricity use, NEE buys renewable energy credits (RECs)from Renewable Choice.

Did you know?

  • According to the EPA, conventional energy production from fossil fuels is theleading cause of industrial air pollution
  • The U.S. holds less than 5% of the world?s population but produces nearly 25% of global carbon emissions*
  • Electricity accounts for 39% of all CO2 emissions**

Renewable energy credits ensure that the amount of electricity that Lundberg FamilyFarms uses is replaced on the power grid by wind power from projects across the country. RECs help renewable energy facilities by making them more financially viable,thereby incentivizing development.

Reducing Our Environmental Footprint

We have partnered with Renewable Choice to reduce our environmental impact andeducate our valuable employees on the choices that are available for both businessesand individuals. This decision is a reflection of our ongoing commitment toenvironmental sustainability and corporate responsibility.By purchasing RECs, our commitment has an environmental impact that is similar to:

  • Planting 440 mature trees or
  • Not driving 108, 078 miles in an average passenger car
  • Not consuming 5459 gallons of gasoline

Join our Commitment

In addition to our corporate-wide commitment, we want to share information on how youcan also support renewable energy at home. Renewable Choice has Home Wind PowerPlans that offer ways for individuals and families to support clean energy.
