Microsite Provides Practical Applications to Make Your Kitchen a
Fresher, Greener Environment
MADISON, Wis.--(Business Wire)--
Americans are moving toward living greener lives. Eating habits
and purchasing choices are changing and evidence now points to
consumers seeking ways to create green environments in the home.
Sub-Zero and Wolf's Web sites have long provided tips and expertise in
all things relating to refrigeration, cooking and kitchen design; but
recently, the companies incorporated another facet to their already
robust online tools, the microsite: GrowAGreenKitchen.com.
GrowAGreenKitchen.com was built to provide consumers, builders and
cooking enthusiasts alike with practical guidance on how to
incorporate green solutions into their kitchen. The site is divided
into three categories: energy tips, construction tips and everyday
tips.
Clicks around the various components of the virtual kitchens
reveal guidance ranging from recommendations on sustainable wood
products to solutions for nontoxic cleaning supplies to ways to lower
energy bills with innovative insulation ideas.
There are also tips that are easy to incorporate into day-to-day
life, such as the recommendation to purchase your food from local
farmers and merchants. On average, food travels 1,500 miles from the
point of origin to the final location. Using homegrown resources
greatly reduces the transportation impact.
"Today's consumers are relying on the Internet as a resource to
discover the latest in green solutions. Our goal is to provide the
best interactive experience in which visitors can learn how to make
changes -- big and small --that will sustain both their families and
the planet," remarked Christopher Parr, consumer marketing manager at
Sub-Zero, Inc., and Wolf Appliance, Inc.
In 2007, Sub-Zero was ranked on the Top 10 list of Green Brands,
according to ImagePower Green Brands Survey. The independent,
third-party research surveyed more than 3,000 consumers in the United
States and the United Kingdom. Sub-Zero ranked sixth.
Sub-Zero and Wolf's company-wide commitment to energy efficiency
and the environment extends into all facets of the company's business.
All Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances are manufactured in the United
States, eliminating the significant environmental impact of
internationally shipping materials and parts; seven Sub-Zero
refrigerator models are Energy Star rated (even Sub-Zero's largest
refrigerator consumes less power than a 100-watt light bulb); all
Sub-Zero and Wolf products meet the Environmental Protection Agency's
emission standards; and all scrap metal used in manufacturing is
reused. The company is also strongly committed to responsible and
sustainable food production and preservation, supporting local farmers
and culinary professionals who are active in the locally-grown
movement.
