We are committed to a carbon neutral and zero waste operation. We will model, teach and promote best sustainability practices. MCE’s Deep Green option allows us to minimize our carbon footprint relative to our energy use. This was a no brainer for us. The price/month differential from a non-renewal energy source was minimal and actually a lower cost when considering the real cost of fossil fuel or nuclear powered electricity generation. If you add the common cost of carbon pollution to the cost of natural gas generated electricity, it is actually a higher $/kWh than renewable sources.”
