This is not the original topic scheduled for this final "Green" post, but after an interesting product presentation in our office on Wednesday we decided to do a swap out and feature Aurora Lighting.  Aurora Lighting is a local (Carlsbad California) American Made company that produces high quality landscape lighting with a LIFETIME WARRANTY.  Why are we featuring them in our Green Month?  Well, we found out during our lunch and learn that 98% of the material is recycled during machining!

In case this image is difficult to read:

"We believe that improving the environmental performance of our business starts with our products.  We carefully examine our products throughout their life cycles including controlling the quality and types of materials used in their manufacture, improving their energy efficiency, and designing them for better recyclability.  We enjoy a beautiful well-lit Earth and we consider it a privilege to leave it better for next generations."

98% materials are recycled during machining and 4,852,000 pounds of material have been recycled to date!

It was a great afternoon learning about Aurora Lighting and the lunch wasn't too shabby either (Mmm Mmmm Panera Catering!).  Now let's go and revise some of our specifications...
