Ikea starts generating solar power at Tampa store | TBO.com:
Well, if Ikea can do it, why can the rest of us.
Solar on the roof-tops of buildings (stores and homes) seems like a great way to start cutting back on traditional electricity (~45% coal).
It shouldn’t take a Swedish company to tell us (show us, really) what we should be doing to become more sustainable.
Check out their 2011 Sustainability Report. They are doing energy efficiency and renewable energy, of course. But they also use huge amounts of fabric and wood. See what they are doing with certified wood and sustainable cotton.!:-)
Way to go Ikea!.
