The green initiative will be a long term plan starting with small, initial changes that will eventually lead<img src="http://www.scienceuticals.com/images/sept07news/greenglobe.jpg"> to a facility that is self sufficient and potentially generates power for its community. <br> <br> Credit Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth or a vocal cast of high-profile greenies. Regardless of the source, the beauty industry has begun to heed the call of environmentalism. For beauty firms, many of which rely on botanicals as a main ingredient source, an obvious place to start is the large manufacturing plants that churn out their myriad creams and cosmetics. <br> <br> Popular eco-friendly tactics for production include the purchase of wind power credits, sun-tracking solar panels and motion-activated lights. For some companies, it's an effort that begins with baby steps such as installing energy- efficient lightbulbs. For others, it's the foundation of their existence. <br> <br> According to President and CEO, Donald Hayden,  The process begins with the little changes; the cultural mindset, setting the vision and have our associates incorporate them into their thinking and habits. Once the indoctrination process takes place, the next changes are the obvious: mandatory recycling programs, energy conservation, purchasing of carbon offsets, use of recycled or sustainable resources and solar power . <br> <br> By joining the Carbon Fund, a carbon offset registry, Scienceuticals intends to offset all of its greenhouse gas emissions for the next three years. Carbonfund.org<img src="http://www.scienceuticals.com/images/sept07news/carbonfree.jpg"> supports three types of carbon offset projects: renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation. While each is different, they all play an important role in the fight against climate change. The projects Carbonfund.org support meet the same high standards relied on by thousands of companies, organizations and governments to ensure quality environmental protection. <br> <br> Carbonfund.org is also at the forefront of the industry working with certification organizations on the development, adoption and implementation of new standards and protocols. <br> <br> " Renewable Energy  supports clean energy development, such as wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. <br> <br> " Energy Efficiency  reduces existing energy use, much of which comes from coal, oil and natural gas. <br> <br> " Reforestation  absorbs existing CO2 emissions, helping to reduce the excess greenhouse gases that humans have added to the atmosphere. <br> <br> In addition, Scienceuticals has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to join the Energy Star Buildings Program. <img src="http://www.scienceuticals.com/images/sept07news/estar.jpg">The five-stage program is designed to optimize energy use and encourage savings, while reducing greenhouse gases. It includes a review of lighting, manufacturing and office equipment, chillers, steam usage and compressed air. <br> <br> Since the beauty industry is so reliant on our environment and its plant life, Scienceuticals has worked to promote plant cultivation. For instance, it will begin subsidizing the Herboretum of Saint -Ay, near Orleans, France, which boasts more than 200 species of plants. "We choose to use only biodegradable ingredients that do not hurt the ecosystem or animals in the long run, rather than petrochemicals, fragrances and preservative systems used in many 'vegan' personal care products," <br> <br> Among contract manufacturers, Scienceuticals is more poised than any to serve the demands of the market.
