Environmental Action at Mississippi Power

Join us in learning how you can help make tomorrow better for us and better for our planet...

golden rods
Golden rods grow wild on the barrier islands off the coast of Mississippi and help prevent soil erosion. Mississippi Power employees work with others in the community every spring and fall to clean up the barrier islands and preserve their natural beauty. Check with your local community on how you can help.

bank deposit
Marsh grass protects the delicate banks of rivers and bayous throughout southeast Mississippi. We protect the marsh grass at Plant Watson on the back bay of Gulfport-Biloxi.

know your roots
Mississippi Power has worked out agreements with paper companies not to cut down trees along riverbanks.

start your own collection
Plant Watson's annual household hazardous waste collection event has been so successful that it has spawned several other similar programs throughout Mississippi.

earth and energy group
Our volunteer grassroots organization provides financial support and volunteers for environmental causes.

celebrate the gulf
Learn lessons in conservation, ecology and marine biology and offer tips on fishing, crabbing and scuba diving. Many Mississippi Power employees share their expertise, cook seafood and pitch in wherever help is needed.
