Organizations that choose to take the pledge must agree to the following:
To use electricity that is generated from 100% renewable resources in all their operations. This can be done by:
- Generating electricity on-site using renewable resources (solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal);
- Participating in a renewable energy aggregation with other organizations;
- Purchasing renewable electricity from a retail electric provider;
- Purchasing renewable energy credits (RECS); alternatively, using verifiable carbon sequestration, capture and/or offsets to achieve zero net greenhouse gas emissions from electricity consumption;
- Some combination of the options above.
Promote the benefits of the use of 100% renewable energy to their students and employees through awareness campaigns during Earth month (April).
