Recycling, solar panels, and LEED certification are all things Illinois business and government agencies do to go green and create clean energy.
Environmental practices like mega solar power, giant batteries and new ways to recycle help businesses and government agencies make money on efforts to reduce carbon emissions and slow climate change.
"Everything we do here is profitable, and it's green," said Mike Abt, co-owner of the 85-year-old business. When they deliver new products, they take the trash with them by recycling customers' old appliances, electronic parts, mattresses and more. Their fleet of delivery trucks run on biodiesel fuel, fork lifts run on new clean battery power and forced heating in the warehouse entrances help to save energy."We have 1,500 solar panels and then on our new roof, we're adding 6,000 panels. It'll generate enough for 80 houses in a year for us. That'll generate half our power in the summertime," Abt said."We're making like $150,000 a year," Abt said.
