National Recycling Day
Marked by peripherals distributor.
Los Angeles, Calif., (November, 2008) – November 15 has been designated as National Recycling Day by the National Recycling Coalition ( http://www.nrc-recycle.org/americarecycles.aspx). In order to celebrate and participate in the environmentally-conscious cause, Red Lion Interactive, the leading distributor of video game accessories in the country, has implemented several crucial updates to its operation.
Red Lion:
• Recycles video game software and hardware through new buy-back program
• Uses only 100% recycled boxes for all its shipments
• Uses only shredded documents for box filler instead of environmentally hazardous popcorn foam or other similar materials
• Has converted the entire corporate and warehouse facility to energy efficient lighting and uses timers to regulate all its lights
• Uses Fans instead of AC in its facility in order to reduce its CO2 foot print and to save energy
• Uses only computers and monitors that are rated as energy efficient
• Uses recycled or “second hand” office and warehouse equipment
Tom LaVoie, Red Lion’s CEO, stated: “Making a positive contribution to the environment and the community can be achieved by implementing a few basic actions within our operation. Not only do these simple changes help alleviate our impact on the environment, it also helps us to save some money through a few simple adjustments. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”
