Greening our Conference We’ve decided to make the Denver Green Building Conference a 100% wind powered event. What does that mean? We looked into ways our gathering contributes to climate change, namely through CO2 produced from our energy consumption. We calculated all the electricity used to power the Belmar Conference Center for the three days of our event. Renewable Choice Energy then donated 100% clean wind power certificates to offset the same amount of CO2 our energy use will produce. We chose to use wind power because it’s 100% pollution-free, it lowers our dependence on foreign fossil fuels, and it stimulates further long-term growth of wind energy production facilities here in the US. But the biggest reason we’re using wind power is to raise awareness with all of our conference attendees about the environmental impacts of electricity use. By using 18,000 kWh of American Wind from Renewable Choice Energy, a local Colorado provider, we’re effectively avoiding 25,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. That’s the same impact as not driving a car 27,354 miles, or planting 342 trees!
