Backcountry.com, an outdoor-gear retailer, has been working with Renewable Choice Energy to offset its company’s energy load in pursuit of a payload of 1.5 million kilowatt hours by the end of the year, the equivalent of removing 190 cars off the road for a year.

Backcountry.com President John Bresee said in a media release that, “These guys rock. Holland (CEO) and I are stoked to have employees who are passionate enough about protecting the places they play and passionate enough about Backcountry.com to lead our green charge.”

The company has also implemented a recycling program that is described as being “300% more thorough and effective than the one previously in place.” The green Team also set up a three-van commuter-pool in cooperation with the Utah Transportation Authority, which is said to accommodate 40 employees commuting to the Park City, Utah from from Salt Lake City. This apparently takes another 37 vehicles off the road.
