Green Web Hosting - More Info

Make yours GREEN!

If we all made a small change in our use of energy and supported clean, renewable power, the impact would be huge. Dreamscape Multimedia is working with BlueLeaf Energy to help foster this change. Your purchasing of the Green upgrade to your Dreamscape hosting package supports renewable energy or energy conservation. That's good for the environment, our nation's energy security, long-term price stability and the availability of clean alternatives to help curb global warming.

About Renewable Energy Certificates

When you upgrade your web hosting account to Green status, Dreamscape Multimedia purchases $5 in Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) or 'Green Tags' from BlueLeaf Energy. (RECs are not an electricity purchase, and BlueLeaf Energy is not an alternative electricity provider in competition with your current electric utility.) These certificates represent an investment in wind, solar, small hydro, geothermal, bioenergy and methane (landfill gas).

These Renewable Energy Certificates are created when a renewable energy facility generates electricity. Each certificate represents the environmental attributes of 1 megawatt hour of electricity produced in a way that results in significantly reduced emissions and has less environmental impact.

When a renewable energy facility operates, it creates electricity that is delivered into a vast network of transmission wires, often referred to as "the grid." The grid is segmented into regional power pools; in many cases, these pools are not interconnected. To help facilitate the sale of renewable electricity nationally, a system was established that separates renewable electricity generation into two parts: (1) the electricity or electrical energy produced by a renewable generator and (2) the renewable attributes of that generation. The renewable or "green" attributes are sold separately as certificates.

Renewable Energy Certificate Benefits

When you purchase a Dreamscape Multimedia hosting account with the Green upgrade, you make a difference. You benefit the environment, the economy and our nation's energy security. The certificates you buy offer the following benefits:

• Sustain and protect the environment, reducing use of electricity from coal and other nonrenewable sources that emit greenhouse gases and other pollutants,
• Grow the market for renewable energy sources (sun, wind, etc.) with little or no environmental impact,
• Stimulate the domestic economy,
• Reduce dependence on foreign energy, and
• Preserve natural resources such as coal, oil, natural gas and water.
