Bollinger Energy and the Environment
Bollinger Energy Corp. exercises our commitment to the protection
of our environment in every facet of our business. As an energy
company, we feel a special obligation to provide the most environmental
friendly products, share our expertise on natural resource efficiency
and conservation with our customers, and maintain environmental
responsibility in our everyday business activities.
We offer green electricity
products from renewable energy resources
such as wind or water. For our
diesel fuel customers, we provide
clean burning bio-diesel blends using domestic renewable resources
that biodegrade faster than sugar and have lower emissions than
100% petroleum based diesel fuel. All of our gasoline
products contain a percentage of ethanol, a product produced using renewable
starch or sugar resources, which produces lower emissions than
conventional gasoline. In addition to reducing fossil fuel consumption
and reducing emissions, both bio-diesel blends and gasoline containing
ethanol decreases our dependence on foreign oil and improves our
national energy security.
Sharing our knowledge about the energy industry with our customers
is one of our highest priorities, and offering information
concerning efficient use and conservation of energy products is a key element
in our education efforts. We continually communicate the most current
and significant conservation
tips and work with our customers to
improve the efficiency of the fuel they consume.
Another component of our multi-faceted commitment to our environment
is how we conduct our business on a daily basis. Our equipment
is rigorously maintained to ensure the highest possible fuel efficiency
and bio-diesel is used as the fuel whenever available. We buy recycled
products whenever possible, use only compact fluorescent or fluorescent
lighting, spearheaded a recycling program for our entire building,
and implemented a "lights out" Friday where all non-essential
lighting is turned off. We support the Chesapeake
Bay Foundation which works to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay, an environmental
treasure. We promote and encourage environmental responsibility
among our employees both professionally and personally. Our dedication
to environmental responsibility is a fundamental part of Bollinger
Energy and our corporate culture. It is a Core
Value which we will
continually strive to enhance and expand.
