It's Earth Day 2010, and we're in our second year as a 100% wind powered business!
And that means exactly... what?
It means we purchase renewable energy credits through Clean Currents, a Rockville-based clean energy broker. The RECs contract stipulates that our share of electricity be wind generated and fed into the commercial grid on our behalf. Because of this purchase, we help reduce the demand for coal or nuclear generated power. And that helps encourage growth in the clean power economy.
The choice is in sync with a core value expressed in our design approach: simplicity. Think about it. The air moves, the rotor blades spin, and the turbines convert wind energy into electrical energy. That's a pretty simple way to keep our computer screens lit and iPhones charged up. It makes the pollution and landscape destruction associated with the mining, transport and burning of coal seem like way too much work for what we get.
