What is Green Energy?

Every day is a wake up call courtesy of local and national media. Reports speculating how climate change and global warming will affect the way of life for generations to come are dotting both major media and the Internet. So needless to say, going green is a major movement toward becoming more eco-friendly as a planet, not just as a select few. Going green means adopting small changes at home, work, on the road and in the air—as a start—but also changing to a green way of life to ensure that future generations still have a planet to call home.

WhiteFence Green has a purpose: Help you, the valued customer, make positive steps to becoming more environmentally conscious in everything you do, whether it's replacing light bulbs in your home, driving a hybrid automobile, or buying Renewable Energy Credits to help offset your carbon emissions and encourage the generation of renewable energy. Getting to know green a little better is only the first step in the process. Though renewable energy may or may not be available in your area, there are still options for making green a big part of your daily practices.

Why Go Green

Now that you have a better understanding of what the concept of going green really means, here are some of the essential reasons why going green is so crucial in both slowing down and reversing the effects of global warming.

• Purchase RECs to help offset your carbon emissions and replace polluted energy with clean, renewable power
• If available in your area, purchasing renewable energy at affordable rates is an easy way to save on your monthly energy bill, and enjoy powering your home with renewable wind, water, solar and other clean resources.
• Millions of tons of greenhouse gases are added to the Earth's atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels, vehicle emissions, deforestation and more.
• Powering a busy world takes resources, and the fossil fuels needed to feed the demand are not only harmful, but have a limited supply that could eventually run out, making dependency on fossil fuels extremely dangerous.
• Over time, the small changes you adopt like washing your clothes in cold water, or buying recycled paper products, accumulate into a large, positive impact on the ecosystem.
