What is Green Energy? What is Green Energy? Green Tags are
created when wind power or other renewable energy is substituted
for traditional power. The result is a shift away from our
dependence on burning fossil fuel to produce electricity. Using
clean renewable energy is friendly to the environment and
reduces emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Green Tags represent the real savings in carbon dioxide and
other pollutants that occur when green power replaces burning
fossil fuel. Renewable energy is still a little more expensive
than buying traditional power, so Green Tags are purchased in
addition to the electricity that you are now using. Buying Green
Tags has the same effect as buying green power. Both replace
fossil fuel generators with clean renewables, and both have
exactly the same environmental benefits. The purchase of Green

supports the production of renewable energy in the United States
and Canada. Participants continue
