Sterling Planet partners with clients to shrink their carbon footprints. Businesses of all sizes, colleges and universities, government agencies, utilities and individual consumers turn to Sterling Planet for innovative solutions that make sense in terms of economics, the environment and society in general.

Ours is a comprehensive, integrated approach, the first of its kind. Rather than simply urging energy efficiency, we deliver the nation�s first White Tags�energy efficiency certificates. Add to that Green-e certified renewable energy certificates (RECs), which we pioneered in 2001, and direct carbon offsets with verified emissions reductions. This all-in-one approach eases any client�s shift to carbon neutrality.

Simply put, we recommend a three-step migration toward carbon neutrality.

Reduce. Using less energy to get the same or better results at reduced costs is the first step toward carbon neutrality. Everyone taking small steps � such as switching to compact fluorescent lighting - will make a big difference in containing greenhouse gas levels. For companies, Sterling Planet offers innovative White Tags� energy efficiency certificates.

Renew. Clean, pure and endless energy from the sun, wind, water and plants contributes to carbon neutrality, energy independence and U.S. job creation. You can counteract conventional electricity production from nonrenewable fossil fuels by purchasing renewable energy. Our supply includes Green-e certified renewable energy certificates.

Shift to carbon neutral with carbon offsets. Carbon offsets compensate for the direct and indirect impacts of transportation and energy use. We provide renewable energy certificates to offset energy use and carbon offsets with verified emissions reductions to offset emissions related to transportation.
