Of course, using less energy is greener, but the greener the energy the better!
If your local utility company doesn't offer any green power options, you don't have to move to support renewable energy. A variety of companies sell renewable energy certificates (RECs), which support renewable energy facilities across the nation. Each REC represents the environmental attributes, such as the tons of greenhouse gases avoided, for each megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable energy produced. See the U.S. Department of Energy's list of Renewable Energy Certificates Retail Products to browse RECs.
