Who is your electricity supplier?
A) My local utility
B) A renewable energy supplier in Pennsylvania
If you answered B, give yourself a pat on the back. Simply by paying your bill every month, you are helping ensure that Pennsylvanians have clean, healthy air to breathe. Our lungs thank you.
If you answered A, maybe now is the time to consider making the switch.

Much of Pennsylvania's electricity comes from coal-fired power plants, which spew pollution into our air. Unhealthy levels of air pollution in Pennsylvania contribute to asthma, COPD, lung disease and even cancer.
While individuals and organizations (including PennFuture) work to ensure that our air is protected, you too can take a step to increase clean energy generation. You can choose to buy your electricity from renewable wind and solar sources, right here in Pennsylvania. Want to know more? This three-minute video outlines why energy switching matters.
