Green Building Council Award

We are always looking for environmentally engaged partners and we recently learned that Arbors Direct has been recognized by the U. S. Green Building Council. Here is a portion of the press release: Fiberglass PergolasArbors Direct is committed to the expansion of environmentally green and efficient building materials. Here is a statement from the company Advancements in the technology of composite building materials now reflects the public's preference for products with low maintenance and positive environmental impact. As the manufacture of the only complete fiberglass composite pergola system in the world, Arbors Direct, Inc. provides a unique answer to the reduction of environmental impact both during and after the construction process. • Using composites reduces negative impact to our ecological system • Their lightweight material requires less energy to transport the product. • Composite materials last longer than traditional materials (wood) and do not have to be replaced which means a longer life cycle cost. Fiberglass Arbor SwingsWith its innovative composite technology, an Arbors Direct, Inc. pergola is more durable and longer lasting than wood, stronger and more attractive than vinyl and more abuse resistant than aluminum. We support the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building rating System and we encourage our customers to Design and specify using sustainable green building and developmental practices.

E-Fuel MicroFueler

From time to time a truly revolutionary idea comes along. The E-Fuel Micro Fueler could be such a product because of its potential to change the way American's purchase gasoline. The E-Fuel MicroFueler™ is the world's first portable ethanol micro-refinery system; it replaces the traditional ethanol reflux column system with a solid state distillation technology, making it possible for homeowners and small businesses to safely and cost-effectively create their own fuel, on-site. The E-Fuel Corporation's technological breakthrough significantly reduces the size and weight of traditional fermentation and distillation systems needed to produce ethanol. Dedicated to the "produce where you consume" energy model, E-Fuel allows consumers to produce ethanol at the point of consumption, eliminating many problems associated with large-scale ethanol production, namely inefficient transportation and distribution, and the use of coal-fired electrical plants. E-Fuel was founded in 2007 by entrepreneur Tom Quinn and ethanol scientist Floyd Butterfield to create the world's first home ethanol product for people who want to break their dependency on oil. E-Fuel has created a business model and product design that makes home ethanol access practical and cost competitive against gasoline. To achieve this, E-Fuel focused on three goals: Removing the costly oil infrastructure from the process of producing and delivering ethanol Use of carbon credits to reduce pricing of ethanol feedstock Stimulate ethanol demand through low cost of ethanol fuel (under $1 per gallon) Click on the following link to learn more: http://www.microfueler.com/default.aspx
