Mark Miller Subaru was recognized as Utah's only Eco - Friendly Dealership.
The Utah
Division of Air Quality (DAQ) released their annual report for 2013 in
February. The report’s synopsis described the Provo, Salt Lake & Logan Utah
areas as not meeting Federal Health & EPA standards for Particle Matter in
the air. The report described Utah’s
poor air quality as the reason for longer lasting inversions throughout the
winter season, including this year’s earlier-than-normal inversion which
started in late November and lasted through February.
Four
months is a long time to endure poor air quality and inversion conditions. This is why Mark Miller Subaru has started
their Driving Green program to help protect, and give back to Utah’s community.
Mark Miller Subaru has teamed up with TreeUtah, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to tree planting and
education. For every car sold at either
of the two Mark Miller Subaru dealerships, we will be planting trees up around
Solitude Ski Resort and along the Jordan River areas. This particular joint
venture has been named Project Oxygen.
We are hoping to plant over 2,000 trees per an event, all employees, customers
and vendors will be invited to participate in this fun endeavor. 
We are
proud to be the only two Eco-Friendly Subaru dealerships in the State of Utah.
Subaru of America Inc, takes great pride in not only selling high quality
Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles (PZEV), but also in protecting the environment.
That’s why Subaru created the Eco-Friendly Dealer program, to reduce carbon
footprint in the daily business world. In 2004, Subaru of Indiana became the
first manufacturing facility in the United States to reach zero-landfill status
and all Subaru vehicles are built in zero-landfill plants. 100% of
manufacturing waste is either recycled or turned into electricity. Subaru of
Indiana is the first and remains the only plant in the United States to be
designated a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.
Mark
Miller Subaru’s two dealerships are completely equipped with recycled
materials. The carpet is recycled from old
car windshields, the paint is a new low volatile organic compound (VOC)
mixture. Our tile and ACM panels are
made from recycled materials as well.
Other Eco-Friendly elements include flush free urinals, paper free hand
dryers, daylight harvesting light fixtures and a water recycling car wash.
We
promote the preservation and protection of the planet through sustainable
business practices that conserve natural resources. All in part to help reduce
our environmental impact toward building strong community relationships to
create a cleaner and safer environment for future generations.
We will
continue to strive to reduce our carbon footprint in the valley and will work
hard in consistently bettering our part in the community through energy
efficiency, water conservation, recycling, waste management and community
involvement.
