TCP is the presenting sponsor of the Cleveland Metropark Zoo’s 2008 summer attraction, entitled, “Frogs, Hogs & Dogs”.   In addition, TCP has also committed to sponsoring the Recycling Center at the Zoo.  A large part of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo’s mission is focused on conserving the natural world around us. Not only is the Zoo concerned about the lives of the plants and animals exhibited, but also about the natural resources used there every day.  The Zoo Recycling Center collects a wide variety of items, including cell phones, inkjet/toner cartridges, phone books, CFLs, appliances, tires, and much more.  Click here for the complete list. 

Also, now through the end of the year, TCP will donate $3 for every package of CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) you buy online to the Zoo’s initiatives to help South American rainforests. To take advantage of this fundrasing opportunity, simply purchase CFLs from SpringLightStore.com, and use the promotional code CLEMETZOO at the time of checkout.

“The Zoo is very grateful that companies like TCP make such significant commitments to help us with some very important conservation work,” said Zoo Director Steve Taylor. “Through these new partnerships we’re able to make it a lot easier and more practical for people to help the environment.”

“This is the true story… of seven strangers… picked to live in a house…work together and have their lives taped… to find out what happens when people stop being polite… and start getting real…The Real World.”

The 20th season of MTV’s “The Real World” has decided to get real green by featuring environmentally friendly household and lifestyle choices and TCP, Inc. was there to light the way!

“Switching incandescent light bulbs to more energy efficient options is one of the easiest ways to help the environment,” said Chuck Aubrey, Real World: Hollywood production designer. “TCP understood our lighting needs and rose to the challenge by providing the lighting products needed to make this season’s Real World home, more energy-efficient.”

In addition to energy efficient lighting, “The Real World” house will boast other energy efficient elements, including bamboo flooring, solar energy panels, recycled glass counters, recycled, vintage décor, sustainable furniture, energy star appliances and a solar-heated swimming pool.
