CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Sterling Signs recently hosted a green ribbon cutting for completing their Clarksville-Montgomery County Green Certification. City Councilman James Lewis who serves as Clarksville Mayor Pro Tem, Melinda Shepard, executive director of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce and Elizabeth Black, communications director for Montgomery County were there and took the time to congratulate the company owner for his work.
Michelle Newell, CMC Green Certification Program Manager asked Small Business Owner Patrick Wilkerson and Graphic Designer Dan Utt to share some of the initiatives they had taken.
Wilkerson explained, “We adjust our thermostats for evenings and weekends to conserve and recycle everything that we can, including cardboard, paper, plastic and cans. We give many boxes away to soldiers who reuse them for moving purposes. We also use non-toxic inks when possible, encourage drivers to consolidate trips and use local vendors as much as we can. In addition, I and most of the staff are practicing a lot of the same things at home.”
