Whole Foods Market’s dedication to its mission: “Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet” reflects its concern for the environment. The nation’s leading natural and organic supermarket has an ongoing commitment to green power, and with Green Mission Task Force Leader Michael Besancon at the helm, Whole Foods Market has made green power purchasing a company-wide practice. Currently, Whole Foods Market is purchasing or generating 100 percent of its total national power load from green power sources. Whole Foods Market’s strategy to invest in green power is based on decisions made at the store or regional level. The regional-based decisions empower Whole Foods Market’s team members to make decisions locally for their own stores or regions and also stay in tune with the environment of each particular community served by Whole Foods Market. Publicity of Whole Foods Market green power purchases has been undertaken at the regional level. For example, in Colorado and New Mexico, Whole Foods Market’s commitment has included in-store educational information about wind energy. Whole Foods received the EPA Green Power Leadership Award in 2004 and 2005 and the Green Power Leadership Club, Partner of the Year Award in 2006.

From the articled linked above: “Whole Foods Market is purchasing or generating 100 percent of its total national power load from green power sources.”
Powerful stuff. If more companies adopt this kind of a proactive approach, perhaps in time that foul brown haze that blankets LA, visible on my commute up the coast to Huntington Beach, will fade in time.
The "Commute" Causes the foul brown haze!

You say, “If more companies adopt this kind of a proactive approach, perhaps in time that foul brown haze that blankets LA, visible on my commute up the coast to Huntington Beach, will fade in time.”
Hi Ryan…I agree and…...if less people commuted by gasoline powered car….that would help too. It’s all of us!
