Family Energy allows New Yorkers to go green all year long - not just for St. Paddy's Day

Family Energy launches new green electricity program that protects both homeowners and the environment

NEW YORK, March 15, 2013 /CNW/ - With the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reversing the effects of global warming, Family Energy Inc. is now offering New York residents environmentally-friendly fixed price protection programs and competitive variable coverage.

By participating in Family Energy's new carbon offset program customers can power their homes with 100% green electricity. Family Energy's green electricity option allows homeowners to make their electricity consumption completely carbon neutral and to help clear the air that we all breathe. Going green is easy and can cost as little as 30 cents a day.

To go green, Family Energy customers need only select the green electricity option on the agreement form. Once selected the home's average carbon emissions will be offset to match the average New York home's environmental footprint, making the homeowner's electricity consumption completely carbon neutral.

Family Energy has proudly partnered with American Forests, one of America's oldest charities, to bring New Yorkers a green product that not only makes a home's electricity usage 100% carbon neutral, but also helps to replant and grow forests in the United States.

For every Family Energy customer or home that upgrades their electricity program to 100% green, Family and American Forests will plant a tree on their behalf.
