Nine projects (using paper that contains 30% post consumer waste recycled
content, using light-emitting-diode traffic lights, phase 1 of the energy
conservation project, use of 5% biodiesel, E85 gasoline, hybrid vehicles,
replacing gasoline with diesel engines, using smaller vehicles where
possible, and planting trees) have produced the following measurable
annual impacts:
- Kilowatt hours of electricity not used: 17.95 Million
- Fossil fuel not consumed: 51,723 Gallons
- Carbon Dioxide not released into the air: 5,547 Tons
- British Thermal Units (heat energy) not used: 620 Million
- Landfill space not used: 204 Cubic Feet
- Net Trees Planted, Saved (and removed): 1264
- Dollars saved: $949,838
These impacts will change each quarter as more projects are implemented and as the
impacts of current projects can be measured.
