Lucas, did you know that according to the EPA, electricity production is
the #1 source of carbon emissions in the United States? (1)
If we are going to prevent catastrophic climate change, we need to move to 100% renewable energy RIGHT NOW.
Fortunately, because you live in New York, there is a very easy way you can do that just by clicking on this email and filling out a form.
Click here to switch your electricity supplier to Ethical Electric, and supply your home with 100% wind and solar power.
If you click through and fill out the form, the way you pay for electricity won't change. The same monthly payment will go to your local utility.
But a different company—Ethical Electric—will send your local utility electricity produced entirely from wind or solar power in an amount equal to the amount you use. That means your local utility will now buy less electricity produced from fossil fuels, and your home will be powered entirely by renewable energy.
Click here to switch to Ethical Electric.
Ethical Electric is a company I can personally endorse. I have been using it in my home in Upstate New York--even during last year's brutal winter--since June 2014. I know the people who founded and operate Ethical Electric—they are all progressive movement organizers from places like MoveOn.
Ethical Electric is a different type of company. It's something called a "B-Corp," which is a certification for companies founded to benefit society, not just their bottom lines. A B-corp is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to milk.
It helps Daily Kos, too. Ethical Electric is partnering with progressive organizations like Daily Kos in order to bolster the progressive movement. If you sign up through this email, every month a small portion of your electric bill will go to help Daily Kos keep our lights on.
Click here to switch to Ethical Electric, and start feeling good every time you turn on a light.
Thank you for all you do,
Chris Bowers
Executive Campaign Director, Daily Kos
