Green Energy
Market of Choice has reduced their energy consumption by about 15-20% using a variety of means, including employee training, equipment maintenance, and replacing outdated refrigeration with more energy efficient equipment. The Willamette Street location in Eugene produces solar energy, with a 30.8 kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system, which is one of the largest such systems in the city. This store also composts its organic waste onsite, and the company looks for earth-friendly packaging material for its goods.
In September 2008, Market of Choice removed the use of plastic shopping bags from their stores.

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or energy:
“There is something I have forgotten, some precious thing.
I shall be seeking ornaments of ivory,
I shall be dying for a jungle fruit.
You do not hear, Bethesda.
O still green water in a stagnant pool!”
—Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)
“Much of the modern resistance to chastity comes from men’s belief that they “own” their bodies—those vast and perilous estates, pulsating with the energy that made the worlds, in which they find themselves without their consent and from which they are ejected at the pleasure of Another!”
—C.S. (Clive Staples)
