Now that the government has deregulated the electrical industry, it’s possible, in some areas, to purchase electricity from companies that generate energy from renewable sources such as wind and water. Check into the opportunities in your area. It may cost a little more at this stage of the game, but using 100 kilowatt-hours of green energy provides environmental benefits equal to planting a half-acre of trees.

Here in Texas, there are several renewable energy options for electricity. I use Green Mountain Energy both at home, and at our new Clean Air Gardening building location. They use 100 percent renewable energy sources.
