Switching to Green

The 'Switching to Green' guide by the World Resources Institute provides practical information for office- and retail-based companies in the United States to transition their energy supply to clean, renewable resources.

• The guide is designed to help office- and retail-based organizations—including universities, nonprofit organizations, and firms in law, publishing, real estate, retail, and finance—procure green power without requiring a prior energy background.
• The document notes that over 70 percent of electricity in the United States is produced via fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and coal, which results in significant carbon and air pollution as well as impacts from drilling and mining.
• The resource aims to simplify the confusing amount of available information regarding the procurement of green power, drawing its content largely from the publications and lessons of the Green Power Market Development Group.
