Did you know about Idaho Power’s Green Power Program? In essence, it allows you to purchase carbon credits to offset your business’ carbon foot print. Pioneer Title Co. has been actively participating in the program for about 2 years to help offset our footprint in the Treasure Valley. Many of our offices have opted into the program, while also going further to replacing plumbing fixtures like low-flow flushing mechanisms, replacing water bottles with water stations and biodegradable cups and appointing office ‘green czars’ to identify and eliminate waste.
Be sure to watch your mailbox in the coming weeks for Idaho Power’s 2010 update on the Green Power Program. Pioneer Title is prominently featured in this publication along with many other area businesses. (If you can’t wait that long, check out the PDF). Also featured in the 2010 Update is a guide on installing on-site generation in your home. According to Idaho Power, many customers are ‘…asking about generating their own electricity at home with solar panels or small turbines.’ In the publication are many tips to addressing just that.
