English term or phrase: Green-e wind-power credit

This certification means that the chair is made with sustainable materials, components and systems, including appropriate energy usage, water usage and socially responsible corporate practices.
The chair’s sustainable design includes using 100% Green-e wind-power credits to manufacture the chair.
These credits avoid emissions of over 1.4 million lbs.
of carbon dioxide in the next 2 years, which is equivalent to taking 124 cars off the road permanently or planting 194 acres of full mature trees.
