For companies who couldn't care less about the environment, the EPA's Green Power Partnership is heaven-sent. The Green Power Partnership certification was intended to reward companies that invest in sustainable, low-impact energy. This certification is so easy to obtain, it's become meaningless in reducing carbon footprints.

To become certified, a company doesn't have to actually invest in green energy, but instead buys a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). As a result, companies whose activities exploit the environment receive false media recognition. This affects the efforts and sales of companies who are actually trying to make a difference.

For today's Daily Action, tell the EPA: stop greenwashing energy hogs and improve your green certification standards!

Janni and Katalin Juhasz are fighting to save their dogs, Nala and Bugger. Tomorrow, on March 14, both dogs are scheduled to be euthanized; thanks to an outdated state law in the 1900s that needs to be reformed. We can help by calling on the Monroe County Dog Warden to stop the euthanization.
