Now the label itself, which became famous by recording the music of Nirvana, Mudhoney (the precursor of Pearl Jam) and other Seattle-area &#8220;grunge&#8221; musicians, is following suit by purchasing renewable energy credits from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.b-e-f.org\/\">Bonneville Environmental Foundation<\/a> to offset 100% of its own energy use:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was made aware of the program by one of my          co-workers. I was, quite frankly, shocked by how easy it is to support          renewable energy. Green Tags are a simple way for anyone to choose wind          energy, which, in turn, lowers dependence on burning fossils fuels for          energy,&#8221; said Jonathan Poneman, president of Sub Pop Records. &#8220;Green          Tags fulfill an important commitment to both the planet and the Pacific          Northwest, where Sub Pop is rooted.&#8221; &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sub Pop has been synonymous with helping talented          new artists support their passion for creating music,&#8221; said Patrick Nye,          director of sales at Bonneville Environmental Foundation. &#8220;Now, Sub Pop          Records is directing the same energy toward new, renewable sources of          power.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations to Sub Pop for taking this step! This little label&#8217;s started some major musical trends &#8212; let&#8217;s hope that &#8220;green recording&#8221; has the same impact on the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Categories: <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/music\" rel=\"tag\">music<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/recording\" rel=\"tag\">recording<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/subpop\" rel=\"tag\">subpop<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/green-e\" rel=\"tag\">green-e<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/renewable\" rel=\"tag\">renewable<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/energy\" rel=\"tag\">energy<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/offsets\" rel=\"tag\">offsets<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/seattle\" rel=\"tag\">seattle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in March, I took note of Sub Pop recording artist Kelley Stoltz, whose Below the Branches album received Green-e certification by purchasing &#8220;green tags&#8221;
