Baltimore, MD, April 17, 2009 --(
PR.com)-- As of Earth Day, April 22, 2009, the Casey Cares Foundation will be now powered with 100% wind energy from Clean Currents. By helping to save the planet, save energy and going green, the charity will also be saving 24% of its utility costs which will allow more money to go directly to their programs. The Casey Cares Foundation provides uplifting programs with a special touch to critically ill children and their families. The charity has also gone paperless and the staff is planning to wear green to promote “Earth Day.”
The conscientious charity purchased the wind power in order to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions among other reasons. Program Development Director, Erin Webb Ritter negotiated the deal. “As a charity that serves sick children we feel it’s socially responsible to reduce our carbon footprint.” Erin explained, “Our goal is to improve the lives of these children, and if we can help them breathe better by reducing the amount of pollution in the air, why wouldn’t we?”
