Climate Neutral certified
Climate Neutral Certified.
Bread Alone is proud to be Climate Neutral Certified since 2020, a certification that helps hold us accountable for lightening our load on planet earth. For four years, we’ve committed to: 1. measuring our carbon footprint, 2. working to reduce our emissions, and 3. offsetting the rest of our footprint.
Solar Powered.
Our Kingston bakery solar array covers a portion of the facility’s energy needs, and our carbon neutral bakery in Boiceville is supported fully by a 366kW solar array. Both of these exemplify our efforts to reduce our carbon emissions, and underscore our on-going commitment to sourcing renewable energy, which we believe is a key lever for mitigating climate change.
Offsetting in our Region.
This year we’re excited to share that we’ve invested our carbon offsets in a project in our own community: The Fulton County Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGTE) plant. Fulton County Landfill accepts waste from all across NY state. As waste decays, especially food waste which composes about 24% of all waste-to-landfill, it creates methane which is a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. With this project, the methane gas emitted at the landfill is captured, converted into clean energy, and made available to the grid, which powers local homes and businesses.
Continued Commitment.
Bread Alone is committed to continuing to develop sustainable production practices, source more renewable energy, and support our community in protecting and rebuilding our planet.
