Green Integer

I know that here at Integer we're working on conducting a green audit of the company, one of many ideas for advancing this company that was born out of the Iconoculture trip in October. One of the things that helps us in our efforts to be green and promote sustainability is where we work: Belmar. They already promote wind-powered street lights and solar-powered parking meters. And now, according to today's Rocky Mountain News we may soon have solar-powered parking garages.



Contiuum Development is planning on placing solar panels on top of the parking garages here in Belmar. These panels will provide enough power to run 350 homes each year, but will only be used to power the parking garages with the rest of the energy being sold back to the grid. This part of Xcel's aggressive plan (demanded by voters) to make more of the states energy come from natural, renewable resources. In general, it's a good idea and a good sign that as a city and state we are becoming more and more conscious of the problems of pollution and global warming (don't think that it's only auto emissions that create our brown cloud). In specific, it might be a good idea to figure out how Integer can get some of this energy, after all our building is linked to one of the garages.
