When I recieve my utility bills, there always seems to be an extra "stuffer" inside. Normally, I don't even give it a glance and it goes straight into the recycling bin. Today was a different story. Now I find myself filling out a form that elects to pay an extra $6 a month in addition to our regular natural gas bill.
NW Natural has partnered up with The Climate Trust to help invest money in the development of a biogas program. This Program will turn cow waste into a viable renewable energy resource. My $6 a month is supposed to offset all the carbon emissions of my home's natual gas use. Offsets are based on an average of 4 tons annually. The potential result is that our home's use of natural gas will be climate neutral.
