In an effort to promote alternative energy and to educate the community on the solar energy system, The North Face is working with BEF to donate to its innovative educational outreach program, Solar 4R Schools, to regional schools. Solar 4R Schools focuses primarily on solar and wind energy, and provides tool kits, teacher training, and classroom education programs.

According to national data provided by the US EPA, the solar energy system, which is owned and operated by Recurrent Energy, is expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 1,300 metric tons annually. This is equivalent to removing nearly 250 automobiles from operation for one year, or preserving more than 11 acres of forest. The environmental benefits generated by this project will be sold separately.

The North Face, a division of VF Outdoor, Inc., was founded in 1968. Headquartered in San Leandro, Calif., the company offers the most technically advanced products in the market to accomplished climbers, mountaineers, snowsport athletes, endurance athletes, and explorers. The company's products are sold in specialty mountaineering, backpacking, running, and snowsport retailers, premium-sporting goods retailers and major outdoor specialty retail chains.
