It's tough to ship statues without some kind of packing materials, but we try to minimize the impact on the environment in three ways. First, when we have to purchase supplies, we buy only biodegradable packing peanuts made from corn starch. Second, we reuse Styrofoam peanuts that we gather from other business, fulfilling the second part of the mantra, "reduce, reuse, recycle." And third, the Styrofoam used to package our statues is recycled and has an interesting story.

Not only is metal roofing great for your home, it's great for the environment. The recycled content of the steel in a metal roof is about 28% from production to installation to reuse - far superior to asphalt. According to the National Association of Homebuilders Research Center, 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills every year.

Not only is a Classic Metal Roofs roofing system great for your home, it is great for the environment. According to the National Association of Homebuilders Research Center, 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills every year. If you loaded those shingles into tractor trailers, then lined them up end-to-end, they would make a line from New York City to Los Angeles, back to New York City again, then on to Chicago. That is a lot of wasted asphalt.

First, you should check with your electric utility to see if a bounty program is offered in your area. Since some bounty programs have required specifications for appliances (e.g., must be in working condition, of a minimum vintage and/or dimension), you may also need to confirm that your appliance is acceptable.

The best place to wash your car is over a lawn or gravel area. Use biodegradable soaps to wash you vehicle, using as little water as possible. Shut off water while washing your car, or use a trigger nozzle to stop the flow. Remember not to leave your car on the lawn. We would highly recommend going to a full or self service car wash since these facilities use recycled water.

One option is to have vehicles cleaned at a commercial car wash where wastewater can flow directly into the sanitary sewer system. When washing your car at home, pull it up on the lawn or graveled area where water will leach into the ground instead of flowing into gutter and storm drains. The soapy water with its phosphates is fatal to fish but is good for your lawn. Remember to shut off water while washing your car to prevent runoff. Wrong.

Yes! In 2006, Zunior HQ was properly outfitted with a 2 KW solar array that provides sustainable energy directly from the sun. You can review video and pictures right here.

You always know where to find great music here in a high-quality reliable digital format. It's and easy and consistent way to get your music fast. It's great value.

When you build with SIPs, you're building homes that can save 50% or more on energy costs when compared to conventional stick frame construction. That means less fossil fuel consumption and less greenhouse gas emissions. SIP technology provides higher "whole-wall" R-value, tightens the building envelope, and reduces air infiltration. That allows you to downsize the heating and cooling equipment.

Hearth Fuel is environmentally responsible by using ethanol— a clean burning, renewable fuel source. When ethanol is burned, it produces no smoke and little soot, making it an ideal fuel for fireplace applications. As Hearth Fuel produces no visible emissions, it may be available for use in communities with burn regulations and related fuel emission restrictions. Also, as ethanol is produced from corn, farmers have another domestic use for their product.

Yes. All of our material is plantation-grown, recyclable, or under protection of a government agency that oversees the harvesting of the raw materials.

Yes. We use recycled compressed wood and cardboard box for packaging. We are a very environmentally friendly company.

Old cars can nowadays only be dismantled by suitable scrap facilities which have been appropriately certified. You can take your car to these locations or to approved collection points. You can ask at your local vehicle registration office where the nearest approved facility can be found. If there is a scrap facility near you, be sure to enquire if it is certified to issue the scrap certificate which is required by the vehicle registration department.

Hive homes adhere to basic sustainable design ideas such as building small and efficiently. We value high-modern, yet efficient living by not over-sizing our spaces. Compared to conventional construction, factory-built homes generate far less construction waste. By achieving close tolerances allowed by factory building, Hive homes are tight and energy efficient.

Reduce, repair and retrofit. The 3Rs of water efficiency are great ways to save money and help our environment. They're also easy to put in place, any time, day or night. The Toronto Water offers several tools and water-efficiency programs to help you use less water. They include:

The active ingredient in the Sentricon System - Noviflumuron -is delivered to termites through Recruit (TM) IV and Recruit AG termite bait. It is used in very small quantities, less than an ounce, only when and where it is needed. Recruit was the first product approved under the EPA's Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative. In 2000, it became the first termite treatment product to receive the highly respected Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award from the EPA.

Yes! Wireless manufacturers are designing new phones to be more lightweight and environmentally friendly by phasing out the use of substances like lead and cadmium. The new generations of wireless devices currently weigh approximately 79g; this is 42% less than earlier models. Manufacturers of wireless devices are maximizing the use of recyclable materials and are increasingly designing for recyclability.

We will be adding companies and sectors regularly and expect to begin including those kinds of typically smaller companies at some point in the future. Climate Counts scores companies through a narrow lens, focusing specifically on publicly available information about those companies' climate actions. Top-scoring companies are by no means perfect; there is much work to be done to fight climate change.
