Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

"No one program" but more than two dozen initiatives help Verizon reduce the environmental impact of its operations. This video contains a sampling of the some of the more effective and lesser-known programs that make big difference. In 2008 alone, Verizons conservation efforts reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 303,000 metric tons, the equivalent of taking more than 55,500 cars off the road. Overall, Verizons carbon intensity is approximately nine times below the U.S. average, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
