So I checked by electricity provided, AEP Energy that I previously purchased green power from. I noticed by price per kWh had really gone up. When I called to double check that I was still purchasing green power, I found that my contract had expired and they had been charging me a month to month rate. Bottom line, by re-enrolling in a green purchase program, my price came down by more than 1.5 cents per Kilowatt hour! Doing well by doing good!

Lois Vitt Sale 3/27/2019 7:41 AM

I think Americans are taught they need the protein in meat in order to be healthy. Shown another way, I think Americans can easily transition to a much lower consumption of meat. And we are!
