The stations path
This is a unique gas station, a little better for the environment than a typical station. And yet, still not as green as might be possible with today’s technology. Not as green as we hope to make it in the future.
Water
From the rain to the drain, this station requires less water, wastes less water and pollutes less than a typical gas station. Click to see some of the ways.
The Facility
This station was built by “upcycling” an old, not-so-green gas station. The new design incorporates a lot of unusual features that reduce its environmental impact and allow us to operate a gas station here in a much more sustainable way. Some of these features could be added to other stations and other kinds of businesses. Click to find out more about them.
Materials
Recyclable, recycled, sustainable and non-toxic materials were used to build this station, including even the reuse of scrap materials from the construction job itself. Click to get more details about some of them.
Lighting
The generation of electricity is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and more efficient lighting is one of the easiest ways to save electricity. Click to see some of the ways it’s been done here.
