HAVENS WINE CELLARS GOES GREEN

Havens Wine Cellars in Napa is going green. The company has reportedly completed a rooftop solar installation and is now running completely on solar power. Havens says it also plans to use solar power to fuel its anticipated 60% growth over the next four years, ultimately saving as much as US$14,000 per year in energy costs. The solar power system will reduce the winery’s carbon footprint by more than 87,000 pounds of CO2 annually, equivalent to the carbon captured annually by 12 acres of forest.
