Hello Gelatorians!
First of all, have you celebrated your new year's resolution success with a little gelato or espresso at Pino Gelato yet? You could even have some as a little pick-me-up to get you going again. :)
Remember at the beginning of January when we shared the Corners of 4 with you and explained that we are looking to help you with your resolutions… and we weren’t joking!
Here we are making a statement!
As the world is changing, both in our communities and on a larger scale, we recognize that people around the globe are making a difference by being aware of their actions and how they affect the environment. At Pino Gelato, we know we can either harm ecosystems or make a choice to positively support the environment. We are consciously making the decision everyday to be friends of the environment, and we invite YOU to change with us!
When you support Pino Gelato, you can rest assured that your delicious gelato is part of the “going green” process. We are:
Switching to biodegradable cups
Utilizing biodegradable trash can liners
Switching to biodegradable napkins and paper towels
Switching to-go pints and quarts containers to biodegradable ones
Here are some more easy but significant changes we have made that you can also do!
Replacing the fluorescent bulbs with LED (Low Emitting Diode) lights
Recycling all plastic packaging
Recycling all corrugated cardboard boxes
Participating in Palmetto Electric's Green Power initiative to purchase electricity generated by renewable resources - For those outside of HHI, call or message your electric company and encourage them to purchase “green power”
We invite you to implement a few of these ideas in your home, and we’ll check on you in a couple of weeks to see how you are doing.
Consider this:
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” - Gandhi
Way to go....Pino Gelato!

ReplyDeleteGreat place, great gelato, and great people.
ReplyDeletegreat company, great owners, best of luck for many years to come
ReplyDeleteGreat job to everyone! Every little bit helps preserve our environment for future generations to enjoy. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteBravo, and thanks for plugging green electricity programs. I've been a participant for the past few years in my local electric utility's green power option. The extra charge from Indianapolis Power & Light is so small, I'm on the 100% green power plan. And as more people participate, the cost is likely to decrease even further.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Clay! Hopefully, we can both help inspire more people to purchase 100% green power!
DeleteThank you so much everyone for your support! It's wonderful to hear so many voices from people who are determined to make a difference in their community!
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to checking in with you in February to hear about things that you have implemented in your own home. Also, we love to hear your comments and suggestions on what we might be able to change in order to support the earth.
