Real Green Garage Program

Keeping with the theme of  "Going Green" from the last post, I just recently found out that Canadian Tire supports another organization to help reduce the disposal of oil pollution into our waters.  "Real Green Garage" and Canadian Tire work together to prevent the oils that are used in Canadian Tire garage auto repairs to be poured down the sewer drains. 

Canadian Tire uses an oil containment system invented by Oillift and Savetheoceans Inc.  This system was implemented around the sewer grates near the Canadian Tire garages and acts as a barricade/sponge which sucks up and blocks the oil from entering the sewer.  This is a great invention and just another way in which Canadian Tire looks out for and helps the community and world as a whole.  Way to GO GREEN!

This video helps to illustrate how and what products are being used in order to assist Canadian Tire in preventing oil pollution.  More on this issue and the organization in general can be found at:
