We’re acutely aware of the impact we have on the environment and are making adjustments to reduce our carbon-footprint and do a better job of being sustainable… Though we have tried to make a difference over the years, we realize that our team needs to step up our efforts to make a difference in the environment. Here’s some of our projects . Photovoltaic Power Generation We’re most proud of the investment we made last Fall to install a 33 kilowatt “PV” system on our roof-top. Solar panels generate DC power from sunlight, which is “inverted” and pushed into our building’s power system. Our roof-top is only so big, and we’ve used as much of it as we can, to produce 15 to 20 percent of our own power on-site, reduce our dependency on the “grid” and reduce our Carbon footprint. Recycling: We have increased our awareness and activity in recycling the paper and plastic waste that we generate. You’ll notice more containers around the dealership to make it easier for our associates and customers to do their part to recycle our bottles and cans. Waste Oil Tire Recycling Paper Recycling We have been burning our own waste oil for years. Besides saving on our heating bill, burning our/your waste oil virtually eliminates our need to have it hauled away, and we’re burning that much less natural gas. We also recycle your used oil filters. We have our waste tires picked up and taken to a tire-recycling plant. Tires get used for lots of cool things like roadway paving and even playground surfaces. You can imagine the amount of waste paper that we generate, from packaging cardboard, boxes and all the paper that’s generated in every part of our business. We’re doing our part by collecting for recycling every pound of paper we can… We gotta save those trees, right.
