Today is Earth Day. It\u2019s a day to demonstrate support for environmental protection. But although Earth Day is just one day a year, efforts can be made year-round to focus on sustainability for our planet.<\/p>\n

OWC and MacSales.com have deeply rooted efforts to build sustainable practices into all levels of business operations. In fact, our entire core is\u00a0based on sustainability, including the upgrades and solutions we offer to extend the lifespan of the technology we use. These solutions help keep systems out of of recycling\u00a0and landfills and thus reduce our e-waste.<\/p>\n

And from our LEED Platinum Certified headquarters<\/a> in Illinois with an on-site Vestas V39-500kW wind turbine to our solar panels on our Illinois and Austin, Texas facilities, we are committed to being a total net producer of renewable energy.<\/p>\n

But our efforts go far beyond harnessing the energy of wind and the sun, and our modern recycling efforts. Please visit our new Think Green page at eshop.macsales.com\/thinkgreen\/<\/a> to see how OWC and MacSales.com<\/a> are celebrating Earth every day.<\/p>\n

Keeping Macs out of landfills<\/b>
\nIn addition to providing solutions that extend the lives of Macs to keep them out of landfills, MacSales.com<\/a> also has a great selection of Refurbished Macs<\/a>.\u00a0There are\u00a0new arrivals every week that are tested, certified and OWC Warranty backed.<\/p>\n
