Programs/Certifications
 We
participate in PG&E’s ClimateSmart™ Program, which
provides a voluntary option for Pacific Gas and Electric Company
business customers to reduce their impact on climate change.
They calculate the amount needed to make the greenhouse gas
emissions associated with our organization’s energy use
“neutral” and add this amount to our monthly energy bill. 100%
this payment for the ClimateSmart program goes directly to
funding new greenhouse gas emission reduction projects in
California.
