It’s Always Green at Dyson Building Center
Spring is filling the shelves at Dyson Building Center with a full array of lawn and garden necessities and extras to welcome the season back after a long winter.
In the video below Melanie Dyson takes you on a tour of some of the gardening and landscaping products available at the center on MD Rt. 5 in Great Mills, MD, including new green and non-polluting products. The center has a full range of products, Dyson’s personnel can even help you order ladybugs and worms for your yards to combat pests and improve your soil.
Despite the long winter’s stock of shelves and shelves of snow shovels and deicer, it is always green at Dyson Building Center. The full center, including the sawmill, is completely operated by solar panels installed this year and growing its green and energy conserving product lines. An aggressive recycling program that includes sorting and providing all cardboard products to another local, small business for recycling, Steve Dyson Hauling. Next will be the upgrade of the HVAC system from an oil based boiler system to a much more efficient electric (solar) based system that may end up being geothermal.
“Our goal,” says Neal Dyson, “again, and again, is to reduce energy consumption with everything we do.”
Green-products are those that have less of an environmental impact or are less detrimental to human health than the traditional product equivalent. Already many green products have been added to the Dyson Building Center’s inventory. Additionally, many of Dyson Building Center’s product distributors, suppliers, and manufacturers are committing to producing and supplying a greater number of green products.
Dyson Building Center will be using small “Green Product” labels on each item so customers can easily identify which items are green. The business’ goal is to have one-third of the center’s inventory be ‘green-products’ by 2016.
