Blueridge Industries Buys Wind Energy

Ellijay, GA, March 1, 2011 --Blueridge Industries, a commercial broadloom and modular carpet manufacturer, said it has purchased wind energy to match a portion of its regular purchases from conventional energy sources.

Sterling Planet, a provider of renewable energy certificates, is supplying Blueridge with 1,125,593 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy from qualifying facilities nationwide.

The purchase represents enough electricity to power 103 U.S. homes for a full year and offset approximately 1.8 million pounds of carbon dioxide.
