We continue to learn from and share the journey with others. Here are a few examples of our progress: 70% of all ingredients are now organic, 13,000 trees planted with American Forests, 3 wind turbines up and running thanks to our partnership with NativeEnergy, and B100 biodiesel fuel is now used for 20,000 miles of inter-company shipping. www.clifbar.com
