There was a time when the only "green" that animal shelters and municipal animal control centres worried about was money -- there just never seemed to be enough of it! Fast forward to 2010 and, while raising cash is still of utmost concern for most, many non-profits and municipalities are now thinking "green" in a whole new light.
In addition to creature comforts and disease control, the construction and renovation of many of North America's animal holding facilities now take eco-friendly design into consideration. Solar panels, natural lighting, geo-thermal heating, high efficiency appliances and low-flow plumbing are just some of the technologies that these organizations are using to build facilities to save animals, while saving money and doing their part to help save the planet.
