Windy Leader: Burt’s Bees Offers Wind Credits in Employee Benefits Package

Here’s a quick bit of cool personal news. One of the companies I’ve started in my career as an entrepreneur is Colorado based Renewable Choice Energy, a leading provider of clean wind credits. Me and my two pals Quayle Hodek and Kris Lotlikar started it the week before 9/11 in Quayle’s basement and it’s since grown to be a profitable 50+ person strong leader in their market.

It was great to read that Renewable Choice has partnered up with Burt’s Bees on a very cool new program. Burt’s Bees, which was bought by Clorox for almost $1 billion last year, not only purchased 3,954,000 kWh’s of wind credits as a company, but now reimburses employees for half of the cost of getting wind at their homes. To the best of my knowledge they are the first company to offer wind credits in their employee benefits package.

Very cool.
