October 2012 –
We are proud to
announce that the winery has officially gone
solar! This commitment to green energy
further exemplifies our passion for
sustainability and being a good neighbor in
the community.
With the addition of solar panels, over the
next 25 years we will impact the environment
in the following substantial ways:
EQUIVALENT CO2 REDUCTIONS:
-
Small car:
7,232,203 miles
-
Medium
car: 3,879,091 miles
-
SUV:
2,717,834 miles
-
Air miles:
4,298,969 miles
-
Trees
planted: 85,340 trees
-
CO2
from trash & waste: 3,879 persons
With the solar
installation also comes an electric car
charging station for our parking lot as well
as a video monitor in our tasting room so
guests can see (in real time) how each day
we are conserving energy.
These incredible reductions are not the only
ways that we are reducing our carbon
footprint. We are also actively engaged in
energy reduction and waste reduction methods
across all departments at the winery. This
effort “takes a village” and all of us here
are committed to ensuring a minimal
environmental impact. |
