More and more beer breweries are starting to think about their carbon footprint and taking steps to reduce it! So do the earth a favor this St. Patrick's day, and Drink a few GREENER beers!
In 2003, the BROOKLYN BREWERY was the first to switch to using ALL wind energy. Brooklyn Brewery's green power stops 335,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 1,500 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 500 pounds of nitrogen oxide from being emitted into the atmosphere annually.
The Great Lakes Brewing Company in Cleveland Ohio uses a delivery truck that runs on 100% recycled restaurant vegetable oil!
At Sierra Nevada in California, they've installed four fuel cell power units to supply electric power and heat to the brewery. They also recycle 33,738 tons of materials annually --97.8 percent of their total waste!!
If I've missed any that you know of, please feel free to comment, and I hope you're having a GREEN St. Patrick's Day!
