SILVER TIPS TEA ROOM IS NOW USING 100% GREEN POWER!
We signed up for a combination of Wind and low-impact Hydro Energy through our local utility company. This program is available to residence and business users but strangely, we had to go looking for it.
In addition, through yet another partnership with our local utility company, we had all our light bulbs changed in the tea room to energy-efficient ones.
Finally, we have started to consciously change out our paper goods to those that are more eco-friendly. You may have noticed our ‘ecotainer’ sample cups. They are compostable and perfect for greening our Tea Room. These hot cups have an inner lining made from 100% corn whereas conventional paper hot cups have inner linings made from petroleum. Also the paper comes from trees that were harvested sustainably and the cups are elemental chlorine-free.

I think going green is something that everyone can agree is a step in the right direction toward building a better community, and laying down the foundations for which future generations can successfully thrive in a healthier environment. Plus, I think many businesses will benefit from going green, not only building a more acceptable public persona, but in the long run it really helps companies save money and be a positive contributor to the world we live in.
Another thing I want to talk about is bioheat, it’s just one small measure that people can take in order to start living a greener lifestyle.
Has anyone ever heard of it, or has switched to it? I want to start taking initiative in turning my home into a greener household, one way I have started is by switching out all my lightbulbs in my home to energy efficient lightbulbs. And I am also seriously considering switching over to bioheat as an alternative to regular oilheat. The thing that I love the most about it is that it’s completely clean burning, and is comprised of a b5 blend of oils which are derived from natural plant and vegetable sustainable resources such as corn, hemp, and avocados just to name a few. If you all want more information on how bioheat works, just go on to http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat I work with NORA to bring this info to you all!
Thanks for your comment. No, I didn’t know about bioheat – I will look into it now. Nice to know we’re all part of this new ‘green’ family.
