If this worked, it's a newspaper article that describes our product pretty well.

We are installing roof top mounted wind turbines. We are also getting a franchise for Loinforce building systems. They are a SIPS panel LEED building system company. Nice to see a green community "Up North"

Welcome to our group Andy! Your company Bay Area Recycling looks very interesting. I will have to let my client know about it.

I've always been frustrated that the recycling service that comes with our trash service is so limited to what they can take, so we found a great alternative: Salon Verve uses "Bay Area Recycling for Charities." You do have a choice of recycling services. Andy Gale is the creator/owner of BARC and he takes everything; all plastics-even plastic wrap, all metal-even foil, styrofoam, etc. He donates a portion of profits to local community charities. Most salons take out several huge garbage bags everyday and thanks to BARC, Salon Verve takes out one small 3 gallon bag. We think BARC is a great company, and for us "green" minded folks, there's no better orgaization to do business with! So if you want to start recycling even more, get a hold of Andy! http://www.bayarearecycling.net/

Thank you, Eric. Your credentials, and Adam's, are impressive! I am a Director with the Traverse Area Association of Realtors and will definitely pass this information on to our Association's EVP. He is an advocate for green building and was instrumental in bringing the Green Solutions 4 Expo to the community.
