 During May
Over 480 tons no longer needed corporate assets (NLN) were diverted from landfill.
Think about this... 480 tons of standard office furniture and equipment going to landfill would likely produce more than 65,398 kg of carbon and the equivalent to over 1,373,364 kg of methane.
10 individual projects took place in May involving over ¾ of a million dollars of assets that were saved from landfills.
Based on the FMV of goods gifted to charities our corporate clients injected more than $800,000.00 into the social fabric locally and nationally.
Our Corporate clients again demonstrated that CSR (Corporate Social responsibility) can be tangible, quantified and meaningful.
During June
Updates are being made to make our website more interactive for our Charitable Partners

May 29 Well earth day came and went and heard about the push for awareness that will come by the unwashed masses turning out the lights for one hour on a Saturday night but...seriously is that the best we can do? How about this:
Don’t walk past the trash on the sidewalk pick it up. Recycle what you can and bin the rest.
Spend the two bucks an buy the biodegradable bags for scooping your dogs poop instead of using a regular plastic bag that will delay the decomposition for who knows how long, or...wait for it...DIG IT INTO YOUR GARDEN!
Or this, if you can afford a few extra buck take your kids to the grocery store and buy some canned goods, pasta, diapers and peanut butter, then take the kids with you and deliver them to the local food bank. What would that lesson be worth?

Ethanol is a more environmentally friendly replacement for gasoline, right? Actually, it’s no better and in some cases worse! “Because so much of the energy in corn-based ethanol comes from burning hydrocarbons in the first place, the cleaner tailpipe emissions turn out to be the tip of a pretty dirty iceberg” Jeff Rubin, Mr. Rubin was the Chief Economist at CIBC World Markets for almost twenty years
When one considers the over $8 billion in subsidies (1/2 the cost of production) paid out in 2007 to American farmers producing the corn and to the ethanol producers plus the 54-cent-per-gallon tariff on the substantially more efficient Brazilian ethanol made from sugar cane (which has a much better energy return on investment than corn-based fuel) and the fact that this sugar based ethanol will never hit an American gas tank it’s not hard to see why the SUV’s will soon be parked and the American taxpayer will be scratching their heads again!
Here’s a scary thought...according to Mr. Rubin, if corn-based ethanol production reaches the governments 35 billion-gallons-per-year target set by president Bush, the U.S. subsidies will cost the American tax payers an extra $25 Billion and that’s on top of the cost of filling up at the pump!
