Green Issues |
At the Morgan Leith Parnership we are always trying to find new methods to reduce our carbon footprint.
Tree Planting
With the help and guidence of the Forestry Commission we planted 1000 trees in 2006. By the end of 2007 we hope to have planted 4000 trees in total.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a fully legal road fuel designed to closely approximate fossil diesel, but which is mainly derived from renewable plant sources, or even better, from vegetable oil that has already seen use in food preparation. |
 |
This used oil is currently regarded as waste and often ends up as landfill. Regardless of source, the chosen oils need chemical modification before they can be relied upon to be a true alternative fuel, which is done by adding alcohol to them along with a catalyzing agent.
We are please to annouce as of September 2006 we now produce our own biodiesel, which all our vehicles will run on.
What's to come
We would like to become fully self-suffient by the year 2009. Solar panels and wind turbins are just two methods we currently considering for our power supply.
