| Partner Profile BCI Burke is a leading manufacturer of innovative, high-quality playgrounds for schools, parks, day care centers and other agencies throughout the United States. Manufacturing playgrounds for children naturally causes BCI Burke to focus on the future and the kind of world today's children will inherit. By making a commitment to the use of renewable energy, BCI Burke is helping to stimulate more investment and research, putting market forces to work in behalf of the future. "We work hard to make playgrounds that help prepare children for the future. Green Power is the flip side of the coin — preparing a better future for our children — and theirs. We all try to teach our children to do the right thing, and it's important to set a good example. Participating in Green Power is simply the right thing to do," says Tim Ahern, chief executive officer of BCI Burke. After its initial green power purchase, BCI Burke has begun seeking other ways to make a difference, and the company believes green power will play an important role in stimulating an even greater commitment to sustainability. BCI Burke also is proud to set an example for its employees and customers, who may be inspired to explore new ways to make their own contribution to a sustainable future. | |
