Partner Profile Rodney Strong Vineyards sustainably farms 14 estate vineyards and aspires to conserve and protect the environment in all its operations. "As with making great wine, going green starts in the vineyard," states winery owner, Tom Klein. "Our sustainable farming led us to install solar panels to conserve energy, participate in Fish Friendly Farming to protect the nearby streams and audit our whole winery's green practices for immediate and on-going environmental progress. I'm proud to say that in 2009 we became carbon neutral and hold ourselves accountable for our winery's carbon footprint. Global warming is real and one of today's biggest threats to our future. This is something we had to do. The whole world needs to get involved in solving this problem."
