We Heart the Environment

February 1, 2010


At Extra Credit Union, we care about the environment. We do all we can to maximize our resources and reduce our impact, and in some areas, the results are very measureable.
One aspect of these efforts is the effective recycling of paper goods.


It goes like this:
After our information is securely shredded, the processed materials are transported to paper mills for pulping. This destruction process provides both security and environmental benefits by reducing pollution, preserving landfill space and saving trees, water and oil resources.


In 2009, Extra Credit Union saved the following:


Recycled Paper (office grade paper) (Pounds) – 19,292
Paper Material Weight (Tons) – 10
Trees Saved (Trees) – 164
Water Saved (Gallons) – 67,522
Air Pollution Prevented (Pounds (of air)) – 579
Landfill Reduction (Cubic Yards) – 29
Electricity Saved (KW-hours) – 39,549
Oil Saved (Gallons) – 4,437
