Balancing your carbon footprint is easier than you might think – and Muskegon County residents are taking that to heart by enrolling in Natural Gas Balance. Hundreds of area residents have enrolled in the program over the last several years, and now DTE Energy is challenging even more Muskegon County residents to enroll in Natural Gas Balance by the end of the month. If an additional 100 customers enroll, the company is promising to plant 10 trees directly in Muskegon County as a celebration of residents’ commitment to sustainability.   

Natural Gas Balance empowers customers to balance between 25% and 100% of an average home’s natural gas usage when they enroll in the program. The program offers an easy and affordable way to: 

  • Address emissions from natural gas usage in heating, water heaters, cooking and other home uses – without adjusting your energy usage or making changes to your home. 
  • Develop Michigan-made renewable natural gas to reduce traditional methane greenhouse gas emissions escaping into the atmosphere. 
  • Promote sound forest management to protect the health of Michigan’s mature trees that act as natural carbon recyclers in the Upper Peninsula, while preserving habitats for Michigan’s wildlife like cougars, moose, bears and bobcats. 

 The key to unlocking new trees in Muskegon County is enrolling in Natural Gas Balance by the end of August.
