MORE ABOUT NC GREENPOWER

Launched in 2003, NC GreenPower began as the first, statewide multi-utility renewable energy program in the nation. This landmark nonprofit offers an opportunity for North Carolinians to voluntarily support a cleaner environment in North Carolina. NC GreenPower provides complementary ways to make a difference – Renewable Energy that supports cleaner energy sources and Carbon Offsets that mitigate greenhouse gases. Combined with your personal energy conservation, NC GreenPower’s Renewable Energy and Carbon Offsets help you create a cleaner and greener environment. Below are some topics that we will cover in our presentation:
- Sources of electricity and pollution – where does N.C. get its power?
- Renewable Energy – what is it and why is it important to our local economy?
- Carbon Offsets – what does this mean and why should I support it?
- Generating green power – how can I become an NC GreenPower generator?
- Conserving energy – what can we do on a personal level?
