As of January 2012, NC GreenPower contributors have helped us support about 8,600 blocks per year, mitigating 8.6 million pounds of greenhouse gases. That’s like taking more than 1,000 cars off the road for a year or planting 667,384 trees!

Past projects include a South Carolina landfill and North Carolina landfill and hog lagoon methane capture projects. Current projects are methane capture from the Anson County landfill and Lillington hog farms. See our map here.
