 (Sept, 2006) Performance Bicycle has become the first U.S. sports retailer to use renewable energy for its entire operations. Through an agreement with Boulder, Colorado-based Renewable Choice Energy, the company will purchase about 5.1 million kWh of renewable energy credits annually to meet 100% of the electricity use of its stores, corporate headquarters, distribution centers and call center. In addition, Performance Bicycle is offering free gift cards to customers who choose wind power for their homes.

REI has announced they will be buying 20% of their electricity from green sources. The purchase of wind, landfill gas and solar generated electricity will provide 100 percent of the power for 17 of REI’s 82 retail stores, and is equivalent to the annual use of more than 1,000 average homes. REI also has announced that it will be a founding member of the Seattle Climate Partnership, a group of Seattle employers working together on climate issues.
