Happy #flowerfriday 🌼 Bet you had no idea your cooking oil starts out like this! Today we bring you #canolafields grown with Loop and a little ☀️☀️☀️from our farmers in Eastern WA. . . . . . We’re headed over to the farms (it’s cloudy today 😫) to film this crazy beautiful full bloom on our Loop research fields and compare the control (nothing added), commercial fertilizer, and biosolids plots. #scienceisfun #healthysoil #loopforyoursoil #turnyourdirtaround #canola #farming #research #science
We’re on our way to becoming a leading local producer of biofuels. Each day at our South Treatment Plant in Renton, methane from wastewater solids is cleaned and injected into pipelines as renewable natural gas. Some of it even goes to filling stations to fuel commercial vehicles like garbage trucks. Last year, the clean gas we produced equaled 1.4 million gallons of diesel. Not only is it better for the air we breathe, long-term it reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. And sale of the gas generated $6.2 million in revenue last year! Supporting our success is @RecologyCleanScapes and @pugetsoundenergy . . . . #biogas #biomethane #rng #climatechange #carbonfootprint #sustainability #recycling #wastewater #sewage #green
We were at the Washington Women in Trades career fair last week. The #Poofighters helped people see how fast they could cut a pipe and our HR staff answered questions about our diverse #jobs. Our booth even won 3rd place! Every spring for the past 39 years, #wawomenintrades has created a place where over 1,000 people gather to teach, learn, recruit, apply for jobs and hire. #womenintrades
