My good friend Steve Gorlick recently came across a popular green energy program in my hometown of Sacramento.

Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is offering one of the nation’s largest and easiest renewable home energy programs. SMUD’s “Greenergy” program is certified by the Green-e Renewable Electricity Certification Program, and offers either a 50% option ($3/month) or 100% option ($6/month). For the small fee(plus tax) each month, they guarantee to actually replace your energy you would have bought from their traditional sources with either solar, wind, or biomass energy that actually goes into your grid (as opposed to an energy credit)! According to their website, over 30,000 customers in the SMUD service area have already joined the program, which is very exciting. Although it costs a small premium, this is one easy way to ensure you are making a positive impact on climate change with your own household’s energy consumption.

For more, check out SMUD’s Greenergy page or call them at 1-888-742-SMUD (7683). My house is definitely signing up so we can lessen our carbon footprint!
