“I feel that we in the green movement have a tremendous responsibility to educate and convert people’s habits from being consumers to being Earth stewards,” says Mike Green, one of the founders of Project KOPEG.
1) What makes your company green?
Mike: The very nature of what we do – recycling – makes us a green company.
Our name, Project KOPEG, really says it all. It means Keep Our Planet Earth Green. We are dedicated to making a difference by leaving the planet a better place for our children, and grandchildren.
Also, our Zero Landfill Pledge states: “All electronics materials collected (cell phones, chargers, cartridges, etc), all shipping and packaging materials (cardboard, bubble wrap, paper, newspaper, etc), all materials involved in processing recyclables, and any other material sent to Project KOPEG is recycled or disposed of properly. Our entire operation is therefore virtually zero landfill”.
2) What is the most hopeful sign you have seen recently from the green economy?
Mike: Virtually everyday I hear stories in our business about new organizations we are helping to raise money for, through recycling e-waste. It is very inspiring to see the green economy rise up and collectively take action in a way that has never happened before. It is further testament tp my belief that there is no better gift and no greater responsibility than to preserve our environment for generations to come.
3) What green product could you not live without?
Mike: Organic food products rate very high on our list. We are looking for a hybrid car and we are looking forward to using many of the sustainable products supplied by many of the other Co-op America Green Business Network members. Thank you for the opportunity to share what we do with others on this green pathway.
