Dow Corning has purchased renewable energy certificates (RECs) from NextEra
Energy Resources, through its EarthEra initiative, for 2010 and 2011. The RECs purchased
will help balance the environmental impact of carbon emissions at the Corporate
Headquarters. All funds from the purchase are placed in the EarthEra Renewable Energy Trust, where 100 percent of funds
are used to build new renewable energy generating facilities in the United
States.
