Yesterday I peddled my bike in support of Earth Day. I live in the city and I work in the city so why not ride my bike? My first stop was the Jones Soda headquarters in downtown Seattle. There was a crowd of people outside and curiosity lured me to check it out. In support of Earth Day, Jones Soda decided to go off the grid for an day and generate their own electricity. At Blue Sky they use naturally occuring and reclaimed CO2 as an alternative to the traditional toxic dry cleaning chemicals. The CO2 is pressurized and takes the form of a liquid which has unparalleled cleaning characteristics. The process is heat free avoiding further setting of stains, which preserves the longevity of colors, fibers and fabrics. This April 22nd is Earth Day! Seattle has roots in the creation of this day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. In 1969 at a conference in Seattle, US Senator Gaylord Nelson announced that in the following spring their would be a grassroots demonstration designed to draw attention to the environment and protecting the planet. Wouldn’t it make sense that for every public trash can there be a recycle can next to it? |
