LHena helps minneapolis become perc-free

1/31/2018

 
LHENA recently provided $5,000 to help purchase new machinery for Osman Cleaners in order to eliminate their use of perchloroethylene – also called “perc.” With help from the City of Minneapolis, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the East Isles Resident Association, and LHENA, Minneapolis is now the first city in the nation to be entirely perc-free!

To read more about this achievement, check out this article from the City of Minneapolis!

TIPS TO REDUCE SALT USE

1/23/2018

 
Help protect our aquatic resources this winter!

De-icing salt pollutes our lakes, creeks, and wetlands. When salt melts snow and ice it
dissolves in to the water and cannot be removed. As it accumulates in our soil and water bodies it becomes more and more harmful to plants, aquatic life, and infrastructure. You can prevent further salt pollution by using the recommendations below.

These efforts were also recently featured in the Southwest Journal! Read the article on SWJ's website to get more information about how we're working to distribute these resources to businesses.
