It's been an exciting year full of accomplishments for Alameda Green thanks to participants like you! Since the program launched last August, Alameda Green participants have supported nearly 2,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy and reduced their collective carbon footprint by over 2 million pounds of carbon dioxide - that's like taking 220 cars off the road for a year* ! In addition, Alameda Green was listed on the prestigious National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Top Ten List for using at least 2% solar in our green power program!
We are working on more exciting initiatives for year two of the program, including a partnership with the Park Street Business Association to "Green Park Street," a campaign that will encourage your favorite local businesses to sign up for the program! We will highlight participating businesses in upcoming enewsletters and on our website so stay tuned.
