秀色短视频 recognized for environmental savings

| News

秀色短视频 was recently recognized for its environmental savings for the 2011-12 fiscal year with an 'Environmental Calculator' plaque from Quebec's Cascades Fine Papers Group and Wood Wyant.

The plaque details 秀色短视频's reduction in environmental impact based on the University's actual consumption. The University uses Cascades paper towels and bathroom tissue products throughout the campus, which are 100% recycled with varying levels of post-consumer and post-industrial products, in comparison to other industry products made of 100% virgin fiber. By using Cascades products, 秀色短视频 was able to save the following:

  • 297 trees (20 tennis courts)

  • 1,160,858 l of water (3,317 days of water consumption)

  • 16,473 kg of waste (1 garbage truck)

  • 36,639 kg CO2 (emissions of 12 cars per year)

  • 471 GJ (energy consumption of 4 households per year)

  • 123 kg NOx (emissions of 1 truck per year)

  • 12,469 kg of CO2 avoided (3,415 trees planted)

'This plaque recognizes 秀色短视频's commitment to the environment and in reducing our overall impact,' said David Taylor, 秀色短视频's manager of environmental services. 'It's environmental choices like these, when coupled together with other choices, that create a significant impact on our environment.'

Greg Clayton, director of facilities management; and Roger Cook, procurement services manager joined Taylor last month for the informal plaque presentation by Cascades Papers' Alena MacLellan and Wood Wyant's Randy MacLeod.
