Tour Green-er with Denali Green Tags

Major Marine Tours is proud to partner with Renewable Energy Alaska Project (REAP), the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) and other tour operators to offer Tour Green.

Through the Tour Green program, Denali Green Tags are available on a voluntary basis to every guest on our boats. Denali Green Tags are a carbon offset for the development of new wind and solar power. Each $2.00 Tag sold is a portion of a full Denali Green Tag and allows our guests to offset a portion of their trip into Alaska’s waters. The Mini Denali Green Tag offsets the equivalent of 150 miles of driving, and 140 lbs of CO2 emissions. Your contribution will go directly to the production of pollution free renewable energy onto North America’s power grids.

Major Marine Tours offer their guests the opportunity to purchase Denali Green Tags along with their cruise reservations, at each office location as well as onboard their vessels during the cruises. Through the contributions of our guests in 2007, Major Marine Tours offset the equivalent of 167,300 lbs of Greenhouse gas emissions (primarily carbon dioxide), which is equal to not driving a car for 179, 250 miles.

Product Content Label for BEF Denali Green Tags - 2007

Denali Green Tags from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) are a renewable energy certificate product. For every unit of electricity generated from renewable sources, an equivalent amount of renewable certificates, or Green Tags, is produced.

A purchase of BEF Denali Green Tags supports new¹ renewable electricity generation, which offset the environmental effects of burning coal, gas and other fossil fuels across North America. When you buy Green Tags, you will continue to receive a separate electricity bill from your utility.

Denali Green Tags are sold in blocks of 1,000 kWh. The product will be made up of the following new renewable resources:

New Renewable Resources:	in BEF Denali Green Tags:	From Facilities Located in:
Wind	100%	10% in Alaska, 90% in: Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming & Alberta (Canada)*
Solar	0%	California, Maine, Oregon, Washington*
Biomass**	0%	Oregon*
Low-Impact Hydropower	0%	Kansas*

¹ New indicates renewable generators that first started operating on or after June 1, 1999. These facilities help to change the overall energy mix toward more renewables and less burning of fossil fuels.

* This is representative of the content of BEF’s Denali Green Tags at the time this label was created. BEF is both developing and purchasing new renewable resources to add to its mix. Under all circumstances BEF will only purchase new¹ renewable resources. As the product mix changes, BEF will disclose the changes on our web site. You may also call 866-233-8247 for information on our product mix.

** BEF purchases biomass Green Tags from a dairy waste to energy facility in Tillamook, Oregon.
