MyDeejay.com Becomes Nations First 100 CarbonNeutral Wedding DJ



MyDeejay.com Inc., a mobile disc jockey (www.MyDeejay.com) has purchased 35,800 Kilowatt-hours (kWh) of certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and 41 tons of carbon offsets from Vermont-based NativeEnergy, which negates the global warming impact from all of the company's electricity use and estimated vehicle-based carbon emissions. This purchase of renewable energy will avoid more than 135,000 pounds of carbon dioxide pollution in 2007. To have the same impact, more than 14 cars would have to be taken off the road for a full year, or more than 1,600 tree seedlings would have to be planted and grown for 10 years, according to statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency.



MyDeejay.com has also joined the EPA's Green Power Partnership, which is a voluntary program that seeks to increase the use of clean, renewable energy sources among leading U.S. organizations. Partners in the program purchase green power in an amount that must meet or exceed EPA benchmarks, and in return receive EPA technical assistance and recognition. EPA's Green Power Partnership currently has more than 800 partners, including Fortune 500 companies, states, federal agencies, trade associations and universities.



"America is shifting to a 'green culture', with more and more businesses understanding that environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility," said Marcus Peacock, EPA's Deputy Administrator. "EPA commends MyDeejay.com Inc. for making a long-term commitment to protecting the environment by purchasing green power."



MyDeejay.com Inc. provides mobile disc jockey entertainment exclusively for weddings throughout the Baltimore/Washington, DC metropolitan area. The company has received numerous honors, including mentions in Washingtonian Magazine's annual "They Know Weddings" feature and The Knot's "Best of Weddings" special national publication. Established in 2003, the company is headquartered in Columbia, MD. More information is available at http://www.epa.gov/greenpower



American Indian majority-owned, NativeEnergy is a leading national marketer of renewable energy credits or "green tags," and direct CO2 offsets, offering individuals and organizations a means to compensate for their global warming pollution, or to effectively power their homes and businesses with renewable energy. NativeEnergy's patent-pending business process brings upfront payment to renewable projects for their estimated future green tag output, enabling its customers to help directly finance the construction of specific new wind farms and other renewable energy projects, such as tribal wind projects and methane digesters and wind turbines on America's family dairy farms. These projects reduce our reliance on fossil fuels to meet the nation's electricity needs. NativeEnergy is the choice of leading environmentally and socially responsible organizations, including the film AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH (http://www.nativeenergy.com
