I've promised this blog will provide a sometimes quirky look, with a different "lens," at Manatee's business happenings. You can't get much more quirky than the picture below: the wedding arch at Duette's Bunker Hill Vineyard and Winery, made entirely of recycled bottles.
As I wrote in this earlier article about Bunker Hill, owners Larry and Lenora Woodham take "green" to new levels. Their bottles, their buildings, their irrigation system, even how they cook dinner is all about reducing their carbon footprint.Not a drop of their wine goes into a new bottle; it all goes into recycled bottles, brought to the Woodhams by their customers. And if they can't use the bottles for wine, they'll use them for masterpieces like the wedding arch!
Now, the Woodhams are taking things even further. They're encouraging customers to keep their 12- and 24-can soda cartons and reuse them as wine carriers -- or to bring them to Larry and Lenora, so they can be sure the cartons are recycled.
For any business that's decided being "green" requires too much of that other green (money), talk to the Woodhams. They're ready and waiting to share creative, affordable tips on how to be environmentally responsible.
