WHY:    As a member of EPA's Green Power Partnership, Neenah Paper
        demonstrates its ongoing commitment to using alternative energies
        and has pledged to replace a portion of its electricity consumption
        with green power.  The purchase of more than 10 million
        kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy qualifies Neenah Paper for
        membership in the partnership and makes the company the largest
        purchaser of renewable power in the entire state of Wisconsin.

        Green power comes from renewable sources such as wind, solar,
        low-impact hydro and biomass.  Renewable resources have little to
        no impact on the environment and produce no net greenhouse gas
        emissions in generating electricity.

        The environmental benefit of Neenah Paper's renewable power
        purchase is equal to reducing the CO2 emissions associated with
        the combustion of 1,037,754 gallons of gasoline.  This is the
        equivalent of reducing the emissions associated with the
        conventional electricity needed to power nearly 11 percent of
        residential household units in Neenah, Wis.
