Energy Renewable Companies Called Infographic Bank Protection Agency

In 2011, a company called Cooler Planet created an "infographic" (a graphic image that presents detailed information on a particular topic in a way that is easily understood) called "Companies Running on 100% Renewable Energy." The infographic "highlights" (focuses on; showcases) 10 companies that "rely" (depend) "solely" (only) on renewable energy or, if they use non-renewable energy, have ways to "offset" (counter; undo the negative effects of something) of their "fossil fuel" (non-renewable energy sources) consumption.

The ten companies represented in the infographic are:

Retail: Whole Foods, Kohl's

Banking: TD, HSBC, Deutsche Bank

Government: Environmental Protection Agency

Natural Resources: Mohawk

Food & Beverages: Dannon

Consulting: Pearson

Non-profit: The World Bank

Most of these companies' energy is generated through wind power, followed by solar power. Some of the companies have more than 100% "green energy" (renewable energy) "utilization" (use), meaning that they "generate" (produce) more energy than they use, "feeding it back into the grid" (sharing their "surplus" (extra) energy with other companies and/or selling it to the utility). This helps all companies lower their fossil fuel consumption, as the utilities are able to "redistribute" (give to other people or companies) the surplus renewable energy instead of generating energy through traditional sources, like coal and national gas.

The "EPA" (Environmental Protection Agency; the U.S. government agency responsible for protecting the natural environment) maintains a list of "Green Power Partners" with "statistics" (data) about how much renewable energy they use, including their main sources.
