We've Gone Green!

In our continued efforts to protect the environment and decrease our footprint on the land, Beaver Brook Pet Center has recently implemented even more "green" practices into the clinic's daily routine.

      *  We collect and recycle everything from plastics, cardboard, office paper, newspaper, aluminum and tin, glass - you name it, we try to recycle it!
TIP:  Recycle your pet food cans. Tin and steel cans save a lot of energy if they are recycled. Reclaiming one ton of steel or tin saves 1.5 tons of ore. Tin recycling saves an estimated 2,600 kilowatt hours per ton. Steel recycling saves and average of 4,300 kilowatt hours per ton or 47% of the energy required to process steel from raw materials.

     *  Whenever possible, we use natural cleaning products- safe for your pets AND the environment.

     *  We are always trying to increase our use of recycled products, thereby completing the chain...
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
        Making the commitment to purchase recycled office paper and office supplies and work with environmentally conscious companies reflects our dedication to being an environmentally responsible business.

     *  The clinic recently installed motion detected lights in and around the clinic, thereby saving energy and taking another small step toward a better environmental future.
