Partner Profile Whatcom County is the main government entity servicing the over 185,000 citizens of an area which encompasses 2,200 square miles. In September 2006, Whatcom County resolved to purchase 100 percent green power in response to growing concern about the stability of the global climate. Whatcom County strives to play a leadership role in promoting global warming solutions in its community. “Purchasing exclusively green power enables us to play a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while providing a model for the rest of the community” said Pete Kremen, Whatcom County Executive.
