NEW YORK, Feb 26. 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2018, Kiwi
Energy, an energy retailer dedicated to providing innovative energy
solutions for electricity and natural gas, established a new
partnership with the Ohio River Foundation (ORF). The company
is excited to announce that it will be contributing to this
important organization again this year.
Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and
improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all
waters in its 11-state watershed. ORF works towards these goals
through environmental education, conservation, and encouraging
eco-friendly solutions to polluting business and business practices
that serve to inspire environmental stewardship for the benefit and
enjoyment of current and future citizens.
Kiwi Energy is able to support nonprofit groups running
environmentally focused projects, such as the Ohio River
Foundation, through the Ecogold Environmental Fund. For every new
customer acquired by Kiwi Energy, a portion of the proceeds is
donated to the fund. Kiwi Energy's contribution will support Ohio
River Foundation's Mussel in the Classroom Education Program.
Introduced in 2017, ORF's Mussel in the Classroom (MIC) Program
is a first of its kind program in the nation. The MIC program
comprises of an in-classroom visit from ORF education staff with
freshwater mussel collateral and shells that involves a classroom
hands-on learning experience. Students learn about the importance
of mussels to an ecosystem, their life cycle, and their current
status in the environment. The class is then provided an aquarium
and the necessary equipment to maintain and monitor live
mussels.
Kiwi Energy's ongoing support of institutions that share its
values of sustainability and environmental conservation is well
represented in its recent contribution to ORF.
"Organizations like Ohio River Foundation play an important role
in creating more knowledgeable and engaged citizens. Through their
Mussels in the Classroom Education program, ORF isn't only
fostering creativity and scientific exploration to students, but to
entire communities. We're proud to work with such a unique and
progressive group." – Says Richard Booth, President of Retail
Operations, Kiwi Energy.
