SGE and GalleryCollection.com team up to send wind power Holiday cards

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

SGE/Northeast Engineers & Consultants (SGE/NE&C) has teamed up with The Gallery Collection to send out wind power Holiday cards for 2009, and to highlight the new wind turbine at SGE’s corporate headquarters.

The cards are from Prudent Publishing’s The Gallery Collection and manufactured in mills 100% offset by wind power energy. The Gallery Collection sells over 200 greeting cards that are produced by wind power energy. Additionally, all of their envelopes are made in these eco-friendly facilities which utilize renewable energy. For more information please visit www.GalleryCollection.com or call (201) 641-0070.

“We wanted to continue the tradition of sending holiday greeting cards to our clients as a way of thanking them for their business, but it becomes an ethical question for a company like ours in the sustainable energy field. Do we save a tree and the carbon emissions from producing and delivering holiday cards or do we send a mass email instead? explains Mary Pat Radeka, of SGE’s marketing department. “I found several nice cards depicting wind turbines wrapped in Christmas lights, etc. but when I found out that The Gallery Collection had holiday cards that were actually made in wind powered facilities and that they also invest in wind power by purchasing REC’s (Renewable Energy Credits), I knew I had found our cards.”

SGE/NE&C is a civil engineering firm that also has a renewable energy division. They offer turn key wind and solar solutions for commercial applications including wind site suitability assessments, design, permitting, procurement and construction of wind turbines. The company plans to install solar panels on their building this spring with the goal of becoming the first commercial building in Rhode Island to be completely off the grid.
