AUGUSTA, ME—05/22/07—As part of their continuing commitment to excellence, J.S. McCarthy Printers in Augusta, ME has transferred all of its electricity purchases to 100% wind-generated power. This move is part of an ongoing environmental initiative aimed at reducing the company’s carbon footprint.

J.S. McCarthy now purchases renewable energy credits (REC’s) through NativeEnergy. This company certifies that the power purchased by J.S.

Taking this full circle, J.S. McCarthy has implemented many additional changes to reduce their overall electricity consumption.

As J.S. McCarthy continues to expand, their goal is to continue offering the highest quality product with the lowest possible impact on the environment.
