Verizon is a leader in using technology to reduce energy costs, improve efficiency and minimize environmental impacts. Since 2004, the company has reduced emissions of carbon dioxide by hundreds of thousands of metric tons. Last year, Verizon developed a plan to further reduce electricity consumption by shutting down obsolete network equipment, upgrading the energy efficiency of buildings and selling or closing unneeded facilities.

The Company is committed to preserving natural resources and to adhere to responsible environmental business practices. We are dedicated to preserving resources that produce the energy that is required to heat, cool, light and power Verizon's communications network and building facilities.

Verizon will seek out and deploy new alternative energy producing technologies and energy conserving building and telecommunications equipment.
