"Green" is in the air at Shipley Energy and they want you to know about it. Shipley Energy has made a commitment to increase environmental awareness throughout Central Pennsylvania.

With the recent addition of BioHeat and its introduction of the Shipley Green Team, an energy educational resource, Shipley Energy is working hard to help consumers learn more about renewable and more efficient energy options such as BioHeat.

What is BioHeat? BioHeat is an environmentally friendly fuel that comes from everyday products like soybeans, which in turn helps to support our nation's farmers and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

"Our goal at Shipley Energy is to be on the forefront and do our part raising awareness on the importance of energy conservation," said Brian Kottcamp, president of Shipley Energy. "It's important that we as a company continually look for ways to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. The fact that BioHeat is also a renewable energy source is a win-win for our community."

Thinking of switching to BioHeat?

· BioHeat produces the same satisfying heat as "regular oil" at no additional cost to Shipley customers;

· Modifications do not have to be made to the burner or tank system in your home and no additional equipment is required; and

· Officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimate that if everyone in the Northeast with an oil furnace used BioHeat, 50 million gallons of regular heating oil could be conserved.

Look for the Shipley Green Team to be spreading the word about BioHeat's benefits as well as energy conservation tips to your community over the next few months. The Green Team will be making appearances at local outings -- parades, fairs, sporting events and more - handing out treats and spreading goodwill.

If there is an event you would like the Shipley Green Team to attend, please contact Katie Jones at 717-848-4100 or by emailing kjones@shipleyenergy.com to check on availability.
