Think Green

To nurture our planet which we call home’. The Global demand for energy grows every year. Between 1990 and 2010, world energy consumption increased by 45% (Source: The Economist). We can reduce that number by recycling and reusing what we produce, and by reducing our consumption of resources like fuel. A 1974 Rolls Royce, from the Al Zarooni Car Collection is now a celebrity for another vital cause – Think Green. The Rolls Royce is covered in beautiful, lawn green grass, to represent the Eco-friendly attitude that ripples from people to major organizations. Together they have begun to act on these demands for a greener planet. Together, we can recycle and care for what we use like plastics and glass, reduce waste, reduce consumption of water and electricity, and impact our planet’s health, positively. A healthy home makes for a healthy planet.
