Jim Reed Subaru is committed to all things Green. We are blessed to be part of a franchise that has committed itself on a national level to environmental awareness and conservation. This paves the way as well as lends support for our company to become involved in local events such as Earth Day and in partnerships with organizations such as Team Green.
Here's something to think about: next time you take out your trash at home for collection, you're sending more trash to landfills than the entire Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) manufacturing plant does in a year. The Subaru plant was the first auto assembly plant to achieve zero landfill status - nothing from its manufacturing efforts goes into a landfill. It's all reused and recycled. Each year, SIA actively recycles 99.3% of excess/leftover steel, plastic, wood, paper, glass, and other materials. The remaining 0.7% is shipped to the city of Indianapolis and incinerated to help generate steam.
This very site in Indiana is the home to a Backyard Wildlife Habitat designated so by the National Wildlife Federation. SIA's 800+ acres serves as a home for various wildlife including: white-tail deer, rabbits, Canadian Geese, Mallard Ducks, squirrels, beavers, coyote, snapping turtles, frogs, red-tail hawks, blue heron, and the Bald Eagle.
In addition to capturing our heart and respect with all Subaru does for the environment, it also appeals to our sense of adventure with its style and design of all of its vehicles. Subarus are AWD all-terrain vehicles that are designed to carry mountain bikes, kayaks, hangliders, camping equipment, or anything else you can think of to get you out into the wilderness and back home safely.
