more in the upstanding corporate citizenry department:
...from the whole fizzle to the fedxizzle!

Kevin at Unplugged Living has some more great green corporate news for y'all. It appears that FedEx Kinko's (which you may know as FedEx or as Kinkos or as NYSE: FDX, announced new renewable energy purchases at more than 100 locations nationwide, increasing its total green power commitment by 67.5 percent to an estimated 40 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year. Which will avert more than 26,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions each year. That's equivalent to the power used by over 3,900 U.S. households in a 12-month period. Already a leading green power purchaser, ((In 2005, FedEx unveiled California's largest corporate solar electric system at its hub at Oakland International Airport. Later that year, The United States EPA and the Department of Energy awarded the FedEx Express solar hub with The 2005 Green Power Leadership Award for green power purchasing)), FedEx Kinko's recently agreed to purchase 10.8 million kWh of Green-e(R) certified renewable energy certificates (RECs) for 88 of its locations in Southern California. The new purchase will provide 50 percent of the annual electricity consumption for those centers. Looks like new CEO Kenny May is continuing the awesome path cut out for him but ex CEO Gary Kusin. And we all say "Aiiiiiight!"
