Also wenn sich das nicht ziemlich vielversprechend anhört..........
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2006--National Envelope, the world's largest envelope manufacturer has signed a multi-year contract with Sterling Planet for the purchase of 18 million kilowatt hours of Renewable Energy Credits from wind energy projects located nationwide.
Wind energy is the fastest growing source of electricity in the USA. The National Envelope purchase serves to avoid the release from conventional electricity generation of approximately 25,056,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas. The environmental benefit compares to not taking nearly 10,000 drives between Los Angeles and New York City.
With this purchase, National Envelope gains entry into the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership and its Green Power Leadership Club. To become a Partner, organizations replace a portion of their annual electricity consumption with green power. The Green Power Leadership Club further honors Green Power Partners that have made an exemplary green power purchase that significantly exceeds minimum Green Power Partnership purchase requirements.
National Envelope has a long-standing commitment to the environment, environmentally-sound products and eco-friendly business practices. For example, National Envelope is the first and only envelope converter in the United States to be certified to produce envelopes, announcements, and greeting cards that are accepted as meeting the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative? program.
"This purchase of wind credits from Sterling Planet demonstrates our focus on being a good corporate citizen," says Nathan Moser, CEO. "We selected Sterling Planet as our provider because we were looking for the greatest value that would enable us to do our part for the environment while continuing to deliver the best quality envelopes at the lowest cost."
Renewable Energy Credits, also known as RECs, represent the environmental benefits of generating electricity by use of renewable energy sources such as the wind and sun. RECs are sold separately from the electrical output of renewable energy projects and are available to residential and non-residential customers nationwide through Sterling Planet, the nation's leading retail provider of renewable energy.
Sterling Planet caters to the needs of large corporations seeking to purchase RECs in large volume with economical multi-year pricing, while also serving residential customers nationwide. "We commend National Envelope, a visionary company with steadfast support of environmental causes, as shown through this major commitment to renewable energy," says Mel Jones, Sterling Planet's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We encourage other corporate citizens to follow National Envelope's example of stewardship."
