• Offset your remaining carbon emissions (and support renewable energy in Alaska) with Denali Green Tags

First, calculate your carbon emissions:

Then, offset some or all of your carbon footprint by funding renewable energy projects here in Alaska by purchasing Denali Green Tags:

Green Tags (also call Renewable Energy Credits) fund renewable energy projects that feed into the grid.  This clean energy supply supplants the demand from other polluting energy sources; every kilowatt fed into the pool from a clean energy source (e.g. wind power) translates directly into one less kilowatt produced from a traditional polluting energy source (e.g. coal-fired power plant).  Learn more about the process here: https://www.greentagsusa.org/GreenTags/index.cfm

Contact your elected officials

Let them know that you’re concerned, and that you want action. Visit the Policy webpage for more info.

Spread the word 

Tell your friends and family.  Write a letter to newspaper.  Form a citizen’s group on Global Warming. In Anchorage, a group of citizens meets monthly at Kaladi Brothers in the REI mall to work on solutions (typically the 2nd Wed. of the month at 7pm). Contact Clare at clare.stockert@gmail.com for more information. Similar groups meet in Fairbanks and Sitka.
