Reducing Your Carbon Footprint is as Easy as (cow) Pie

For as little as $6 a month, you can support innovative environmental projects here in the Western United States. We'll invest your Smart Energy dollars in projects that prevent the release of greenhouse gases.

In exchange for their contribution, Smart Energy participants will have "Carbon Offsets" retired on their behalf. By helping a project become financially viable, you'll get credit for greenhouse gases removed or kept out of the atmosphere - equal to the amount of carbon dioxide created by your own natural gas use.

While many types of projects can provide positive environmental benefits, NW Natural will focus on biogas, which has the greatest potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

While natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, NW Natural believes we all must participate in finding ways to tackle the climate change challenge. Along with using energy as efficiently as possible, we think participating in Smart Energy is a step in the right direction. We invite you to join us.
