Partner Profile As a member of the Green Power Leadership Club, the City of Dallas purchases enough wind power to meet 40 percent of its annual electricity use. Dallas, says Mayor Tom Leppert, "is committed to being the Greenest City in America." He adds that "[t]he City of Dallas understands that each of us - every individual, every business, every government must act to protect our environment. And this city knows it must lead by example." The city's green power is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide emissions of nearly 48,000 passenger vehicles per year, or is the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power nearly 33,000 average American homes annually.
