Verizon’s Green Initiative

Verizon, a leader in mass-market, wireless communication, is committed to reducing their “carbon footprint.” In 2008 alone, the company reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 303,000 metric tons, the equivalent of taking more than 55,500 cars off the road.

Verizon’s “carbon intensity” is nine times lower than the national average for companies. In addition, the company operates the largest fuel cell site of its kind in the nation, a facility that generates enough electrical power per hour to meet the energy needs of 400 single-family homes.
