DMI, Inc. has chosen to take responsibility for its environmental impact by offsetting 100% of our electricity use. At DMI, we're passionate about our environmental initiatives program and our commitment to being a green digital printing and marketing services provider. The direct benefit to you, our valued customer, is in knowing that all the electricity DMI uses to print your documents is 100% offset by wind power energy credits. We can help highlight your company's commitment to the environment by displaying the above logo on all of your documents we print.

At DMI, we value the environment and believe that taking steps to reduce our environmental footprint is good for business and the earth. Our purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs) has the environmental impact of saving 592,740 lbs of CO2 annually. This equates to:

Not driving 506,912 miles a year in an average car! **
or
Planting 2,044 mature trees! *

DMI is Committed to Reducing Our Environmental Impact

We have purchased renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset 100% of the 444,000 kWh we use each year. Renewable energy credits are produced by wind farms, biomass facilities and other renewable energy projects that allow companies and consumers to offset their electricity use with clean and renewable energy. By purchasing renewable energy credits, we are guaranteed that part of the electricity we consume is replaced on the national power grid with clean power.

How RECs Work

Wind Powered Turbines

It's actually impossible to pipe renewable energy from wind farms and other renewable energy projects directly to our offices and distribution center. We use electricity from the national power grid and that has the same mix of energy as everybody else, and this mix has less than 2 percent from renewables.

The difference is that by voluntarily paying an additional amount on top of our electricity bill, DMI ensures that the electricity we use from the grid gets replaced back onto the grid with renewable energy, which makes the energy mix cleaner for everyone.

Why RECs and Carbon Offsets are Important

By purchasing RECs DMI is making a commitment to sustainability and to lead by example. Our commitment helps:

Save our natural resources
Support farmers and ranchers who make money from leasing their land
Reduce our CO2 emissions and cleans the air for everyone
Increase the demand for new projects
Reduce our dependence on fossil fuels
Generate awareness for supporting clean technology projects
