We’re pleased to formalize our relationship with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation.  The joint press release went over the wire yesterday.  

We initially selected BEF for two reasons.  First, they’re a non-profit and any proceeds from their carbon projects go to good causes like watershed restoration, renewable energy education for kids, and other great programs.  Second, their projects are focused primarily on North America.  While CO2 is a global problem without regional boundaries, pollution is a regional problem.  North American projects help increase our air quality and help to build our green economy by creating jobs and focusing development locally.  

As we have gotten to know BEF better, we have been increasingly impressed with how they run their business.  They are a leader in developing rigorous site selection criteria used to select the site of new wind projects.  These criteria consider the potential impacts to the ecosystems and surrounding the projects.
