“We had never really considered how our home electricity use was impacting the environment. Once we realized the extent of that impact, we wanted to find ways to reduce our emissions footprint. Now we’re excited that we can make a real difference as a Bullfrog Power customer. Most of all, we’re happy to know that our efforts are helping to create a cleaner community.” Joelly LangCalgary, AB Alberta Bullfrog 100  Bullfrog Founders Club |
