Summary:
The Subaru Plant in Lafayette, Indiana is currently recycling 99.8% of its waste. They are leading the way in the U.S. for zero emission plants, partly because they Japaneses owners have made it a priority. Also, going green saves lots of money for the company, they save 1.3 million a year by recycling Styrofoam alone.
Response:
This is great for the environment and the auto industry which is in trouble. Subaru is saving money by doing this, GM and Ford need to hop on the band wagon. A problem with the Big 3 is probably that they need to recycle more. The Subaru plant conserves materials and has cut back on wasted steel and etc. If the auto companies recycle they produce the same amount of cars for cheaper and they can lower their prices. This is a obvious must do for all industries and is a benefit to everybody.
