Yes, We're Green!

Protecting the environment is critical to our national health; and we play our part!

Learn more about our  Photo Voltaic Power System.   As of December of 2005, with a matching grant from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, we invested over $75,000 in a 16 KW Solar Voltaic system.  The system reduces the production of green house gases and airborne particulates that are known to aggravate asthma in our children.  You can do this too!

We use BioDiesel Fuel.  As of September 2006, we switched to biodiesel fuel.  Biodiesel is an easy-to-implement solution that helps reduce tailpipe and CO2 emissions associated with global warming, it is a clean, renewable, non-toxic and biodegradeable fuel that runs in unmodified diesel engines.  It integrates seamlessly with existing fuel infrastructures without the need to purchase new vehicles or construct new facilities.  Because biodiesel is produced from feedstocks such as virgin soybean oil, it is 100% organic and non-toxic to people, animals or plants.  It contains no aromatics or sulfur, has a high Cetane number and is a superior lubricant.  Biodiesel also cuts exhaust emissions and helps minimize the smoke, odor, CO2, toxins, hydrocarbons, soot and particulates that are associated with petroleum-based diesel exhaust.  Every gallon of biodiesel consumed displaces a gallon of imported oil and strengthens the U.S. economy.  You can do it too!

We are an EPA Green Power Partner In 2006 we began purchasing 100% of our electricity from renewable sources in the form of direct green power purchase and tradable renewable energy certificates (green tags).  You can do it too! We are Stewards of Long Island Sound In July of 2002, Barret Outdoor Communications Inc. began sponsoring a Website and a series of billboards with the copy “What Goes on the Ground Goes in the Sound”.  You can do it too!
