Choosing to go green is choosing to make a
significant impact in the battle against global warming. Realizing this,
WhiteFence has become a "green company" by offsetting our negative impact to the
environment through renewable energy credits (RECs).
WhiteFence Green is a combined effort at
WhiteFence to both offset carbon emissions in everything we do—air and
automobile travel, technology, equipment, electricity and natural gas
consumption and more—while offering you, the customer, ways to go green and save
money as well.
