Hi, I’m “Sunny” the GreenWatt.
I work to preserve the environment for future generations by using natural sunlight to generate green electricity. Renewable electricity is energy created from natural resources such as the sun, wind and landfill gas.
The GreenWatts Program lets you support renewable energy for as little as $2.00 per month. For every GreenWatt you adopt, TEP will create 20 kilowatt hours of electricity per month from renewable energy resources.
When you join GreenWatts, 100 percent of your contribution goes toward installing solar power systems at community schools and nonprofit organizations in the Tucson area
GreenWatts is part of TEP’s renewable energy portfolio and is an easy way to invest in Arizona’s energy future.
To learn more about TEP’s GreenWatts program go to our website www.tucsonelectric.com/Green/Business/Solar/community.asp

The lawyers at Gibson, Nakamura & Green are dedicated to representing businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals. We provide start-up advice to entrepreneurs and assist individuals and existing organizations with leasing, contract enforcement, and acquisition matters. We also guide mature organizations through sales, reorganizations, and liquidations.
In an effort to minimize our environmental impact, we recently relocated to a more energy-efficient and centrally-located office building. Our building has excellent natural lighting provided by skylights, is landscaped with native Arizona plant life and is centrally located, which minimizes our carbon footprint by encouraging short commute times and bicycling by employees. We recycle our paper waste and use recycled office products where we can. One of our attorneys, Kristen Green, volunteers for Open Space Bond Campaigns. Kristen is also a member of The Nature Conservancy, and contributes to the Sonoran Institute.
