CO2 is the New "Perk" in Dry Cleaning

Perchloroethylene (perk) is the solvent found in 85% of the countries dry cleaners. But you won't find it at Revolution Cleaners. The reason- "Perk" is a proven ground and air contaminant. It is very hazardous for people who come in contact as it can cause nervous symptoms and is a probable carcinogen.

The solution Revolution Cleaners has come up with is the use of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). CO2 has natural cleaning agents and can be reclaimed for additional cleaning cycles. Revolution's process has Consumer Report on their side saying "CO2 is the best cleaning agent of all". For Revolution, CO2 is the new "Perk".

Customers of Revolution Cleaners are loyal. "We've had people tell us that they don't get rashes like the used to with chemical dry cleaning, you don't have to air out your clothes when you bring them home." To top that off, because no high temperatures are used, clothes last longer!

There are new green and healthy options everywhere and eco-friendly dry cleaning is one that cannot be ignored.

Colorado Convention Center- Greening 2.2 Million Sq. Ft

A huge focal point in the City of Denver is the 2.2 million square foot Colorado Convention Center. Host to countless events and hundreds of thousands visitors every year, the Colorado Convention Center is setting the standard on how to green a massive facility. Conferences today are not only capable of bringing together people and ideas, but can also work to increase collective social responsibility.

By remaining mindful of the impacts on the environment and community, events can be produced without leaving a negative footprint. The Meet Green program at the Colorado Convention Center (CCC) focuses on building operation, education and resources, and the industry as a whole. The goal of the program is to make green meetings an attainable goal for any meeting or conference.

So how do you achieve such lofty ambitions?
*Photovoltaic panel installation on roof capable of continually providing 300KW of power
*Timed lighting system controlled by electrician's allows lighting levels to be at 50% during event move-in and move out, and 100% only during event hours in occupied space
*Monitoring and control of doors by security through facility walks focusing on closing doors not in use
*Free ECO-Passes given to all employees of the CCC to encourage light rail and bus use
*Conversion of all existing toilets and urinals to low flush. Water savings translates to be 1,000 gallons if all were flushed simultaneously
*Recycling of plastic and glass bottles, aluminum/tin cans, paper and cardboard products in a co-mingled, single stream program throughout the facility
*Post-consumer content and recycled office supplies used in all administrative offices supplied by EcoGreenOffice
*Switching fixtures in Exhibit Hall to Florescent lights for a savings of 2,679,412 kwhr per year

This is just a sampling of the incredible efforts the Colorado Convention Center has installed to green up. You can learn more about Meet Green here!

GreenFrontierFest- Denver, Colorado 8-24-08

The month of August has finally arrived with much anticipation in Denver. The DNC and thousands of delegates will make their way to the Rockies later this month for celebration and joy (and misery for others).

One thing is for sure - the event has some of the highest 'green' or eco-standards ever to be seen in conjunction with the DNC. To help kickoff the 'greening' of the DNC, Denver welcomes greenfrontierfest!



The GreenFrontierFest is a free event for the general public and an opportunity for truly green businesses to get recognition they deserve. One of which is ICE ENERGY, who is not only a sponsor for the event but will also be handing out cool, refreshing water in biodegradable bottles- as opposed to traditional plastic bottles such as Arrowhead.

ICE ENERGY has partnered with EcoGreenOffice, the provider of these earth friendly bottles. The bottles have been approved by the DNCC committee and guaranteed to compost. Check out the GreenFrontierFest, August 24th, in conjunction with the DNC.
