Although we still need to use trucks and cars during the course of our business, we are encouraged to bike, walk, or use the moped (100 mpg) or the motorcycle (70 mpg). The largest savings occur when we install extra insulation or use 95% efficient boilers in our projects. |

Bridger BowlWe have coordinated a carpool parking lot at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds (corner of Tamarack and N. Rouse) in Bozeman. This is a convenient park and ride location for almost everyone coming to Bridger Bowl. In 2009 Bridger Bowl converted to popular discount skiing days (Bridger Bowl Birthday and Bobcat Ski Day) into carpooling awareness campaigns. In order for participants to qualify for the discounted tickets, participants must arrive "3 on a wheel to get the deal". Only participants who carpooled qualified for the discounted tickets, and season pass holders were given 15 percent off vouchers if they carpooled on those days as well.

CatTamboo ToysCat Tamboo toys are over 90% renewable materials. The small amounts of plastic used on the handle and tip of each toy are minimal. We did this intentionally to produce the most green product we could make that would still perform and sell. This equation hold true for our displays. In addition, we made the product efficient to ship, therefore minimal packaging is needed. Our commitment is also demonstrated via our all natural, raffia grass, vegan product. Raffia grass fits the profile in that it is an all natural, renewable resource. Most pet toys have pon pons, mouse toys, plastic dragonflies, plastic mice etc. We worked hard and invested a fair amount of our resources into creating a unique product that was both vegan and all natural. |
