• Green Tags are an easy and affordable way for you, individually, as a familly, or as a business, to actively participate in making an impact on renewable energy construction, projects, promotion, and issues. Life is busy. Green Tags are an easy and effective way to contribute.
• Buying Green Tags sets a good example for your children, who might just not care if you do not care.
• Green Tags, and the resulting dinner table discussions with your children about this all, contributes to good family spirit as enjoyed by families with outdoor interests.
• Green Tags are an educational tool, introducing your kids (or parents!) to local & global issues. (think globally, act locally).
• It is worth repeating that by buying Green Tags you are choosing how your power is produced, not the power itself. You buy your power in the normal fashion from your utility, and purchase emission credits to offset the pollutions related to your energy useage.
• Green Tags allow people who have no access to green power programs from their own utility to assemble for themselves their own green power package.
• Generating power by wind turbines spinning in the wind produces no emissions that are released into the atmosphere.
• If many people/businesses would buy Green Tags, more renewable energy facilities would be built to handle the demand, displacing the regular expansion of coal and nuclear plants to handle growing demands for power.
• Green Tags don't require you to change your utility power supplier.
• One can offset ones pollutions even if one lives in rental accommodations and does not get a direct power bill.
• Renewable power is renewable, endless, and uses up no finite resources.
• Renewable power generation creates less dependence on foreign energy sources.
• One can feel good about doing something good for the environment.
• Green Tags can be bought to cover the power usage of a conference or event.
• Green Tags make a great gift.
• It will differentiate your company from your competition.
• It will improve corporate identity and production image.
• A business may find marketing/advertising advantages resulting from the environmental support shown.
• It will help position your company as a leading corporate citizen. Leading corporate citizens realize that life and society cannot go on or grow with ever increasing amounts of pollutions emitted into the atmosphere or dumped into rivers.
• Green Tags can be bought to encompass all company facilities, no matter where located, with a single purchase.
• Green Tag purchases are definite proof of an eco-conscious management and would contribute to improving the corporate environmental performance rating in order to be included in environmentally screened funds.
• Revenue from the sale of Invest Green ERC's creates additional revenue for the wind turbine. This additional revenue for the wind turbine improves the return on investment of the turbine, which in turn influences the owners to build additional turbines and bankers to more easily lend money for the same.
• Alternatively, the additional revenue stream being developed via the emerging emission credits market affords construction of wind farms in wind regimes less rigorous than currently required to achieve practical return on investment numbers and will create an increase in the number of locations suitable for wind farm construction worldwide.
• Green Tags represent a tremendous way to stimulate investment in renewable power while simultaneously tracking where the green power was produced and ensuring the customer against fraud.
• A portion of the revenues goes to WindSong Power Inc. a company of wind enthusiasts working towards putting up their own wind turbine. In this way the sale of Invest Green ERC Green Tags stimulates the construction of new wind turbines directly.
• By purchasing Green Tags you are helping to change the situation where general unthinking economic development has made the environment a garbage dump of toxic byproducts and made society the victim of pollution.
• The introduction of 1MW (and now larger) wind turbines to the marketplace has created the new possibility of building efficient large scale windfarms that can in output and cost compete with the status quo methods of power production (ie the burning of wood, coal, oil, gas, or even nuclear). It is now possible to support an industrial revolution in how our power gets produced. Buying ERC's/Green Tags/Green Power Certificates not only makes Renewable Power Generation facilities more profitable, not only supports the construction of the next wind turbine, not only is it good for the environment, but it also lets the companies that are in the power production business know that you are another person voting for an industrial sized shift in how our power gets produced. Maybe with enough customers of GPC's the politicians in the country would get brave enough to make a vision of windpower for all to be an ellection platform vision, equal to and far more practical than a trip to the moon or mars. With leadership all can get done. Where the money goes, there goes the world. Your vote counts.
• By purchasing Green Tags you are helping to build a sustainable world.

That is a long list of benefits.

Your vote counts
