ETC's website and back-office operations become GREEN Certified.
ETC becomes the first company to have their websites powered by 100% wind power. This means that all our servers, data centers and offices supporting ETC's back-end operations are powered by renewable energy.  In an effort to reduce our impact on the environment our company has purchased Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to offset our energy use.

Through our partnership with IPOWER and the EPA we continue to strengthen our committment to operating green.
