Taiga Company: Driving SMART

Leading companies are becoming increasing aware of the benefits associated with implementing sustainable changes in their organization. Managing and planning a company’s operations to reduce environmental impacts can result in reductions in resource consumption, emissions, and waste streams.

At Taiga Company, we are an environmental business that demonstrates business sustainability through the commitment to our own business sustainability programs. As is the case in a sustainability plan, the objective is to reduce the impact on the environment. In keeping up with that plan, our most recent eco action was the purchase of a SMART car. For us, not only is it fun to drive, but it's also a great way to generate eco awareness as we drive about town.

In our eco friendly consulting, we share information and resources to green your transportation. If you are considering the purchase of a new vehicle, explore the sustainability concepts embedded in the SMART car:

It is an eco-friendly, ultra-low emissions vehicle.
The vehicle has a 2009 EPA estimated MPG rating of 33 city / 41 highway.
The smart fortwo is the most fuel efficient non-hybrid vehicle in the U.S.
It's the 3rd most fuel-efficient vehicle in the U.S.
The smart fortwo is up to 95% recyclable.
It is certified as a SmartWay vehicle for its low air pollutant and greenhouse gas scores by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The most environmental impactful areas of our lives are those that we do by habit. Replacing current behavior with eco friendly alternatives is a place to start. Regarding transportation, changing what you drive and how you drive it can save money and reduce carbon emissions. We're excited to be driving SMART.
