<\/a>Safety-Kleen, a leading provider of environmental services to commercial, industrial, and automotive customers, recently awarded a certificate of achievement to Active Green + Ross tire retail shops<\/a>\u00a0for avoiding 1,701 Metric Tonnes of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (CO2<\/sub>e). Active Green + Ross made this reduction through Safety-Kleen\u2019s closed-loop recycling program for used oil from January 1 through December 31, 2013.<\/span> Based on the EPA.gov Clean Energy calculator<\/a> (CO2<\/sub>e)*, this is equivalent to any one of the following:<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 722,168 litres of gasoline
\n\u2022\u00a0Carbon sequestered by 44,096 trees grown for 10 years in an urban environment
\n\u2022 69,480 propane cylinders used for home barbeques
\n\u2022 3,960 barrels of oil
\n\u2022 Emissions avoided by recycling 595 tons of waste instead of sending it to a landfill.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to epa.gov<\/a>, \u00a0carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. In 2011, CO2<\/sub>\u00a0accounted for about 84% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. The main human activity that emits CO2\u00a0is the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) for energy and transportation, although certain industrial processes and land-use changes also emit CO2. With almost a half-century of experience, Safety-Kleen is recognized as a trusted provider of environmental solutions to\u00a0over 200,000 customer locations, delivering responsible closed-loop solutions for managing many of types of waste streams. These solutions allow the company to recycle, reclaim, and reuse both used oil and spent cleaning solvent.<\/p>\n1,701 Metric Tonnes of Greenhouse Gas Emissions is equivalent to:<\/h2>\n
