recognized
by
EPA
The
U.S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
recently
announced
current
top
50
list
of
the
country's
leading
purchasers
of
"green"
power
–
solar,
wind,
geothermal,
biomass
and
small-‐scale
hydroelectric.
The
listing
is
compiled
from
members
of
the
EPA’s
Green
Power
Partnership,
which
works
with
a
variety
of
organizations,
from
Fortune
500
companies
to
local,
state
and
federal
governments,
and
a
growing
number
of
colleges
and
universities.
These
rankings,
which
are
updated
on
a
quarterly
schedule,
include
three
Practice
Greenhealth
member
companies:
Johnson
&
Johnson
(at
#7),
BD
(at
#19),
and
Kimberly
Clark
(at
#22).
These
green
power
purchases
help
reduce
the
environmental
impacts
of
electricity
use
and
support
the
development
of
new
renewable
generation
capacity
nationwide.
Purchase
amounts
reflect
U.S.
operations
only
and
are
sourced
from
U.S.-‐based
green
power
resources.
Organizations
can
meet
EPA
purchase
requirements
using
any
combination
of
three
different
product
options:
(1)
Renewable
Energy
Certificates,
(2)
on-‐site
generation,
and
(3)
utility
green
power
products.
“We
are
delighted
to
see
these
Practice
Greenhealth
member
