DNC Green Committee Recognizes our "green chocolate"

The Belvedere Belgian Chocolate Shop - Boulder has been recognized by the DNC Green Committee for our efforts to do our part for the environment. Usually green chocolate is not good, but in our case it is a great thing for the environment.

We have been chosen as one of the businesses the DNC will be highlighting to visiting media outlets as an example of how any business can do the right thing. We have been 100% wind powered throught Xcel Energy for about 2 years and we are also PACE certified by Boulder County.

We use corn based (PLA) cold cups, recyclable paperboard boxes, paper coffee cups, and our lighting ia approximatley 99% florescent bulbs. We also use environmentally friendly cleaners and detergents to also save our employees. Our employees are encourage to use mass transit or walk/bike to work. We also actively recycle paper, glass, plastics, and cardboard.

REMEMBER: It is easy to be green!
