Ten Ways I Freed My Distillery From Environmental Irresponsibility

by Karen Hoskin

Does your distillery have a “deathprint”?

Every kilowatt-hour of coal-generated electricity is 670 times more likely to kill someone than wind power. Every plastic cup used at tasting events will hang around for 450 years or more in piles of waste. Airline travel and freight shipments will produce 27% of green- house gases. These facts, back in 2008 when I started my distillery, made it hard for me to sleep at night.
