Through this program, GCEC members have the option of voluntarily purchasing blocks of &#8220;green&#8221; power. &#8220;Green power&#8221; is electricity generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, including decomposing garbage. As organic waste decomposes, it produces methane as a natural by-product. To protect the environment, we use pipes to collect the gas to fuel Waste Management&#8217;s Springhill Regional Landfill gas-to-energy facility to generate 4.8 megawatts of electricity &#8212; enough to power 4,000 homes for a year.<\/p>\n<h2>Purchasing Blocks<\/h2>\n<p>Green power may be purchased in 100-kilowatt-hour blocks, equivalent to about 8% of a typical household&#8217;s monthly energy use, for only $2 per month. To put things in perspective, the environmental impact of buying just two blocks of green power per month for a year is equal to recycling 480 pounds of aluminum (15,322 cans) or recycling 1,766 pounds of newspaper. You can purchase as many blocks as you&#8217;d like. The minimum participation period is one year.<\/p>\n<p>Helping the environment today is vital to protecting our resources for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h2>Green Power Choice Registration Form<\/h2>\n<script
