Coop America has put out a great article talking about all the “other” stuff that goes into landfills that could be recycled. I have included some other info that pertains to MOM’s, which I will put in bold and italic to separate it from the article..
21 Things You Didn’t
Know You Can Recycle (more…)
Feel free to add any Green Events you have coming up that you would like our readers to know about..
MOM’s is a founding member of The Clean Energy Partnership, and we just had one of our quarterly meetings last week in Bethesda.
For those of you that do not know what CEP is, it is a group of local businesses that care about the environment, and have decided to purchase wind power to offset their carbon footprint.
There are a varied group of members, from 94.7 The Globe to Congressional Bank, to American Plant Food to Blacks Bar and Grill. There are no membership dues, just the desire to lead the way environmentally.
Doug Duncan was there, the former Montgomery County Executive who is now the VP of Administrative Affairs at the University of Maryland. Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland was there, and spoke about some upcoming bills that need our support. Cerphe, a distinguished and well respected DJ on 94.7 was there with his wife, Susan. Both Cerphe and his wife have long been committed to the environment.
His wife, Susan, is the president of My Green Cottage which is a company specializing in building homes that look normal, but hiding within are energy efficient processes that save money while saving our planet.
The reason each member joins is because of a desire to help the world, but the not so obvious benefit is that we all help each other with referrals. By sending our clients to another CEP member, we can feel good by knowing that we are promoting responsible business and supporting other companies that share an interest in renewable energy.
If you belong to or own any business interested in becoming a partner of the CEP, please feel free to write me for any information at gregk@myorganicmarket.com
