 Renewable Energy Sources The average US citizen makes his or her greatest negative impacts on the environment through the use of fossil fuels. The average New Jersey household’s electricity use alone causes over 6,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually, the equivalent of driving over 6,000 miles. Renewable energy--generated from sources such as wind, sun, ocean tides and geo-thermal--is critically important in the fight to stabilize our climate. GreenFaith has long supported the use of renewable energy, playing an important role, for example, in attracting the first renewable energy provider into New Jersey. GreenFaith's programs to make renewable energy more easily and economically available to New Jersey religious institutions as well as households, include: Lighting the Way, providing solar energy for religious institutions, and Adopt-a-Windmill, enabling New Jerseyans to buy their electricity from the Atlantic City Wind Farm
Additional Resources for Renewable Energy You'll find many other helpful ideas and sources by visiting the website of the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, an excellent energy resource for New Jersey residents, see www.njcleanenergy.com. For information on the NJ Board of Public Utilities’ Clean Power Choice Program (you may have seen bill inserts in your utility bill about this), visit www.njcleanpower.com.
