| Does it make a difference?
When you "green" your cell phone, it's as though you:
Planted 8 trees or
Decided to not drive your car to work for a whole week (based on average commuting distance of 16 miles each way).
Surprising, isn't it? And all you have to do is pay $5!*
Your money goes to purchase 250 kilowatt hours of renewable energy credits (RECs). Through that purchase, you will offset the electricity required to charge and use your phones over the term of your contract with the carrier.
RECs are commodities that represent the environmental attributes of electricity generated in the United States from renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro and biomass.
Green Phone program offered exclusively by Archimedes One with Green Mountain Energy, the Nation’s leading provider of cleaner energy products and carbon offset solutions.
If everyone greened their cell phones it would be like taking over 2,500,000 cars off the road or like planting more than 2 billion trees or like recycling almost 90 billion aluminum cans or recycling over 7 million tons of newspaper or, well...you get the idea.
