Hudson Trail Outfitters Purchases 100% Wind Power Through Clean Currents
 

(Rockville, MD – January 24, 2012) – Clean Currents, a leading retail provider of wind power in Maryland and the District of Columbia, announced today that Hudson Trail Outfitters (HTO) will purchase renewable wind energy for its Maryland and DC locations.  HTO has committed to purchasing Green-e Energy certified wind power from Clean Currents for 100 percent of its Rockville, Tenleytown, and Annapolis locations electricity usage.  

Hudson Trail Outfitters, a popular outdoor clothing and gear retailer, started out in the DC area as a single shop in 1971 and has since grown into a multi-location mecca for outdoor enthusiasts.

“Hudson Trail Outfitters exists only to be recognized as the leader in all things 'Specialty Active Outdoors' related - the company's 40 year history has been rooted in health, in happiness, and in the preservation of the environment.  We believe that making the switch to wind power through Clean Currents supports the core initiatives of the company.  Today, HTO, Ltd remains focused on environmental awareness, community preservation, and on being an active participant in prolonging & maintaining the future growth of the environment around us,” said Sandy Cohan, General Manager of HTO, Ltd.

HTO’s switch to wind energy will avoid one-and-a-half million pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually – or the equivalent of removing 133 passenger vehicles from the road for an entire year.  

“We’re very excited to be partnering with a locally based company that is similarly passionate about the environment as we are,” said Ron Rodriguez, Vice President of Business Development at Clean Currents.  “Providing clean wind power to Hudson Trail’s Maryland and DC locations represents a real synergy between companies that are dedicated to making our world a greener place,” added Rodriguez.
