WHAT: Neenah Paper has become the largest purchaser of green power in the entire state of Wisconsin and has been named to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) distinguished Green Power Partnership. The partnership recognizes organizations for exemplary green power purchases. WHO: U.S. EPA Green Power Partnership Program Director, Matt Clouse, will be present to honor Neenah Paper for its commitment to using renewable energy. Also in attendance will be the following individuals: -- Wisconsin Secretary of Natural Resources -- P. Scott Hassett -- Mayor of Neenah, Wis. -- George D. Scherck -- Regional Representative for U.S. Senator Herb Kohl -- Marlene Mielke -- We Energies' Vice President of Customer Relations -- Walter Kunicki -- Center for Resource Solutions' Communications and Marketing Coordinator -- Sarah Krasley -- Chlorine Free Products Association's Exec. Director -- Archie Beaton WHEN: Wednesday, September 20th 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure we can begin on time. WHERE: The Neenah Paper mill 135 N. Commercial Street Neenah, Wis. WHY: As a member of EPA's Green Power Partnership, Neenah Paper demonstrates its ongoing commitment to using alternative energies and has pledged to replace a portion of its electricity consumption with green power. The purchase of more than 10 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy qualifies Neenah Paper for membership in the partnership and makes the company the largest purchaser of renewable power in the entire state of Wisconsin. Green power comes from renewable sources such as wind, solar, low-impact hydro and biomass. Renewable resources have little to no impact on the environment and produce no net greenhouse gas emissions in generating electricity. The environmental benefit of Neenah Paper's renewable power purchase is equal to reducing the CO2 emissions associated with the combustion of 1,037,754 gallons of gasoline. This is the equivalent of reducing the emissions associated with the conventional electricity needed to power nearly 11 percent of residential household units in Neenah, Wis.
