Green-e Launches Innovative New Website

CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, Jun. 5 -/E-Wire/-- The Green-e Program announced today that they have officially launched a new advanced web site , http://www.green-e.org,

which offers fresh approaches to informing consumers and power providers on renewable

energy. The new site enables consumers to receive information on renewable

electricity choices by clicking their state on the US map. In addition, site visitors

are now able to download documents and outreach materials. The site also features

links to energy-saving tips, resources for teachers and students, information on the

health and environmental benefits of renewable power, a list of businesses who have

switched, and much more.

Green-e is the nation's first voluntary certification and verification program for

renewable electricity products. The Green-e Program sets consumer protection and

environmental standards for electricity products, and verifies that Green-e certified

products meet these standards.

At http://www.green-e.org, consumers can view the stringent requirements that renewable electricity products must meet to become certified. Providers of the electricity can also download the Green-e Code of Conduct and apply on-line to use

the Green-e logo. Visitors to the new website will have access to:

* Downloadable outreach materials

* Green-e certified renewable electricity products organized by state

* Step-by step information for power providers on certification and verification

* Links for educators and students on energy

Inspired by the success of the recycling logo, the Green-e logo is a way for customers to easily identify "green" electricity products. By setting environmental

product standards and requiring companies to disclose information about their

products, Green-e strives to inform consumers so that they may make responsible

choices about the power they purchase. Green-e is a program of the Center for Resource Solutions, a non-profit organization based in San Francisco's

Presidio. CRS brings together diverse interests to preserve our environment, encourage

sustainable economic growth; and promote clean energy for present and future generations. Dr. Jan Hamrin founded CRS and serves as the

Executive Director. More information on the organization is available at http://www.resource-solutions.org
