Energy Conservation Program
Verizon's energy conservation program promotes the responsible and cost-effective use of energy. Verizon is dedicated to reducing energy use by improving the energy efficiency of Verizon buildings through innovative technology such as hypalon roofing, and researching and using alternative energy sources such as clean-burning fuel cells or micro turbines for our central offices.  In 2007 alone, energy conservation efforts eliminated more than 75,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions.

ReducingTravel                                                                                                                            Our network, services and expertise enable global e-commerce and distance learning.  Audio, video and web conferencing can foster collaboration among workers and students in various locations.  Along with secure e-mail and instant messaging, these solutions dramatically reduce the need for travel, thus reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by allowing people to come together via our  advanced technology offerings.

Commuter Services Program
Verizon's Commuter Services Program was created to help reduce tailpipe emissions also known as GHG emissions. The program assists employees in finding commuting alternatives to get to work. We are identified as a leader in many communities because we implement programs that create a healthier future through better air quality. Verizon has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) as one of the "best workplaces for commuters" for its programs in Basking Ridge, NJ; Westchester County, NY; Boston, MA; Newark, NJ; and Everett, WA. The Best Workplaces for Commuters program recognizes employers that are leaders in offering superior commuter benefits.
