This month Scuttle is flying in to Lower Shore Enterprises, where he will remain for the duration of March.
Scuttle is the winning heron from the Build a Heron competition initiated by Wicomico County’s Stash Your Trash Anti-Litter Campaign. Scuttle is made of 100% recycled materials. Each month a green-friendly member of the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce has a chance to be chosen to display Scuttle.
Lower Shore Enterprises uses propane to heat the facility. They use propane and gas to fuel five buses and have a 91.2 kw solar project. LSE also uses low energy lighting and recycles close to 500,000 lbs. of paper and cardboard each year.
Priscilla Timken presented Bill Turner, CEO of Lower Shore Enterprises with a Green Business certificate from the SACC Beautification Committee for being a ‘Green Businesses’, and for supporting the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County’s Stash Your Trash Anti-Litter Campaign and eco-friendly initiatives in the workplace.
