| Partner Profile Grosvenor Market has been getting all of its electricity needs through renewable energy credits (RECs). The driving factor behind the company's switch to green power was their wish to become a more environmentally-conscious business. Grosvenor Market also strives to stay green in other ways such as recycling plastics, cardboard, as well as paper products. According to Scot Shuck, the owner, the move to green power was a "no brainer." According to Shuck, "The biggest benefit we're seen so far since switching to green power is the opportunity to educate and inform our customers (when they ask) about the positive impacts of using green power." Additionally, one beneficial surprise has been "the affordability of the switch to green power: we're very happy with the overall costs." | |
