It’s true — by making the simple switch to 100% wind power in my home, I will be joining the thousands of people in my area who are taking a big step towards lowering our carbon foot print!

Yesterday I received an invitation to make the switch from my utility company, Washington Gas and Energy Services. Montgomery county has set up an easy program to allow qualified electricity suppliers to to pass on a 0.5 cent per kilowatt-hour credit to customers for the purchase of wind power.

I estimate my additional monthly cost to be between $16 and $20 per month — a small price to pay for such a massive green dividend!

Effective almost immediately, my home and business will no longer be spewing sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, or carbon dioxide into the environment! And all I had to do was go to a web site and make a few clicks!

By supporting renewable energy by purchasing wind power I am also supporting something dear to my heart — job growth in the “green” industry!
