I'm excited to read about your journey. I wanted to ask you if you buy your electricity locally. A new campaign was just launched called ChoosePAWind(.com) to get more PA residents to purchase renewable power within PA. If you haven't done so, this is a great way to make a difference and is super easy. Great challenge! I’m excited to read about your journey. I wanted to ask you if you buy your electricity locally.
