Through the Green Roots Initiative, ECS donates 10 trees to one of America’s national forests for each customer that enrolls in an ECS demand response program. This effort is in conjunction with the Arbor Day Foundation’s Trees in Celebration program. ECS donates tens of thousands of trees annually. “The commitment by ECS to plant trees will have a lasting impact on our environment,” said Matt Harris, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. “The trees planted by ECS will help restore wildlife habitat, clean the air we breathe and protect soil and waterways.
