Sure, carpooling is great for the environment. Quitting plastic straws? Excellent. But when we start to think about electricity, it starts to get more complicated. With electricity now the number one contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., the need for renewable, clean energy is more apparent than ever.

For the average person, however, there's still a general impression that these resources are expensive and unattainable. And that's exactly why a company called Arcadia is on a mission to change that. Arcadia's ultra-simple solution helps you attain clean energy in your home without spending a dollar.

With a mission statement of "making clean energy an easy choice," Arcadia dedicates its efforts to finding the most cost-efficient resources for any individual with a utility bill. Simply type in your ZIP code, and the tech platform matches you with low-cost, sustainable wind and solar energy. You can connect your utility account in under two minutes with no installation required, and you'll pay your bill through Arcadia's easy-to-use platform (which also means you can finally use a credit card for payment).

Arcadia also tracks and monitors your energy data with an easily accessible app, allowing you to see your progress every step of the way. A user-friendly dashboard helps customers understand their energy mix, how they are spending their money, and how much energy they are saving over time. You're guaranteed to not spend more than you would with your current utility company, but many customers will even save by using Arcadia.

As a cherry on top, new customers will get a $20 Amazon card at signup, so you might be able to purchase a pack of those metal straws after all. Either way, Arcadia will help you achieve your 2020 environmental goals — all in two minutes or less.
