BFRich Brings Community Together to Drink Green
March 24, 2009

BFRich, based in Newark, Del., opened its doors to customers, community business's and homeowners on March 19 to host a Green Drinks event. Green Drinks events are structured to bring together people who share a passion for the environment, sustainable/green living, energy efficiency, green power, green transportation, environmental legislation and advocacy, according to BFRich.

Chris Lorber, vice president of sales, opened the presentation portion of the evening by welcoming the nearly 100 attendees with information on the 2009/2010 Energy Efficiency Tax Credit and its expected effect on the door and window industry and the environment.

"Not only will these energy-efficient products provide eligibility for homeowners to receive up to a $1,500 tax credit, they will also contribute to the conservation of natural resources, less dependence on foreign oil and the reduction of CO2 emissions into our environment," said Lorber.

Darryl Huber, director of commercial and architectural projects as well as the president of Northeast Window and Door Association (NWDA), addressed the crowd on how the NWDA has an active role of communicating with our legislative bodies as a resource of information to aide policy makers on our national energy policies.

Lori Monroe Lake of GreenTV.com and GreenDelaware.com (and local organizer of Green Drinks in Delaware) gave closing remarks commenting on BFRich's commitment to Thinking Globally, Acting Locally.

"BFRich is very humble in the way they present themselves," said Monroe. They have a phenomenal product - a phenomenal energy-efficient product. They don't play up the factors of how green they are in their business or about their corporate sustainability plan. As big of a company as they are, they generate a minimal amount of waste."
