We’ve noticed several people in the neighborhood display a blue sign in their yard that reads “I’m a Clean Energy Home.” Not sure what that meant, we did some research and here’s what we found out.

Clean Currents is a residential and commercial wind power supplier serving customers in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and a few other mid-Atlantic and northern states. Through Clean Currents, you can reduce your carbon footprint by switching to green power at competitive rates.

According to the website, here’s how it works:

• Residents of Maryland or D.C. can choose their electricity provider.
• No installation of equipment and no fees are required.
• Your local utility will continue to handle billing and service issues.
• There’s no change in the dependability of your power.

Clean Currents is the only energy company in the mid-Atlantic to exclusively offer Green-e Energy certified local and national wind power. You can enroll to start using either local or national wind power through just two easy steps on their website.

Once we learned about this program, we started seeing these clean energy signs in a bunch of places around town. It looks to be pretty popular in Hyattsville.
