That&#8217;s the solution New York&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mohawkpaper.com\/index_content.htm\">Mohawk Paper Mills<\/a> has put into practice:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This June, Mohawk Paper Mills, a family-owned upstate New York producer of printing papers, will begin using 45 million kWh of wind power annually to run its two mills in New York as well as a newly purchased facility in Ohio. With this annual consumption, Mohawk Paper will become a national leader in the use of wind power for manufacturing, second only to Johnson &amp; Johnson, one of the largest consumers of electricity in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Mohawk Paper Mills are the only paper mills in the U.S. to use wind energy to manufacture paper. Over the past two years, Mohawk Paper has taken a leadership role in producing environmental papers. With many of its corporate customers seeking ways to mitigate impacts on the environment and looking for a means to highlight their contributions to socially responsible organizations, Mohawk responded by developing a line of process-chlorine-free 100% recycled paper manufactured with non-polluting, wind-generated energy from wind farms in upstate New York and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>According to George Milner, Mohawk&#8217;s Senior Vice President, Energy, Environmental and Governmental Affairs, wind energy now provides 21 percent of the total power for its two mills in upstate New York and 50 percent of the annual power required for the Beckett Mill in Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a misconception that choosing the environmentally correct path costs a lot more,&#8221; Milner said, &#8220;but with the technological advances in windmills, the cost of wind power is within range of traditional energy sources. And our customers find it a tangible way to express their own commitment to sustainability.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Technorati tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/wind+power\" rel=\"tag\">wind power<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/paper\" rel=\"tag\">paper<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/New+York\" rel=\"tag\">New York<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-1674704-1161566\">ABUNDANT EARTH &#8211; Products for People Who Care!<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.awltovhc.com\/image-1674704-1161566\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You power the paper mill with wind, of course.
