Beaulieu Commercial Gets Green Power Award

Adairsville, GA, Sept. 15, 2009--Beaulieu Commercial was honored with a 2009 Green Power Leadership Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Sept. 14 at the annual Green Power Leadership Awards ceremony in Atlanta.

The EPA co-sponsors the Green Power Leadership Awards with the U.S. Department of Energy and the Center for Resource Solutions. The award recognizes exceptional dedication to environmental protection through green power commitment.

Beaulieu Commercial purchases substantial kilowatt hours of green power annually, to meet 100 percent of the organization’s purchased electricity use nationwide.
 
“People don’t always realize that in the U.S., the largest source of carbon-heavy greenhouse gasses comes not from automobiles, but from coal-fired electric power plants,” said Beaulieu Commercial President James Lesslie. “Supporting clean sources of electricity is a sound business decision and crucial in reducing our climate risk.”
         
Beaulieu Commercial’s green power purchase of nine-million kilowatt hours (kWh) of green power represents over 12 million pounds of emissions that won’t be going into the atmosphere, the company said.

The company can now display the Green-E Certified Renewable Energy logos on all of its products and corporate communications.
