The Environment Vital Nutrients takes many steps to preserve the earth's precious natural resources and reduce their company footprint. The Vital Nutrients facility is a temperature controlled building that utilizes individual automatically timed thermostats throughout the building. This thermostat maintains optimal temperatures for product quality, saves energy each day, and reduces their carbon footprint. Three years ago Vital Nutrients installed a new lighting system which saved 57,191 kWh. This savings is equivalent to 260,706 pounds of coal not burned, or 33,519 gallons of oil not burned, or 60 homes provided with electricity each year. In addition, the project eliminated the following environmental emissions: 1,030 pounds of sulfur oxide, 274 pounds of nitrogen oxides, and 557,910 pounds of carbon dioxides.
