• Carbon Offsets Through NativeEnergy
  
  

  Green America and NativeEnergy have teamed up to make it easy for your business to buy 'green tags' and offset 100 percent of the CO2 pollution from your business.

  On May 4, 2007, a massive tornado leveled Greensburg, Kansas, leaving a path of devastation two miles wide. In the aftermath, the residents committed rebuilding as "the greenest town in America." To support the greening of Greensburg, NativeEnergy offers carbon-emissions reduction credits to help build the new Greensburg Wind Farm, with a portion of each offset also helping support Green America.

  To sign up and become a climate neutral operation, call 800-924-6826 or visit our page on NativeEnergy.
