Did you know that Busy Beaver donates a tree to the Arbor Foundation in honor of every button order this month?  It’s exciting for everyone here to see the “tree tally” rise in the hundreds, along with the popularity of the April Special 100% Recycled Paper.

Here’s a little explanation about the best practices Busy Beaver Button Co. uses:

Optimal Energy drills through bedrock at Busy Beaver

Did you know that Busy Beaver installed geothermal heating and cooling in the new Logan Square button building?  When rehabbing the two flat, vintage storefront we decided it was a good idea to save money and energy at the same time.

Click here for a video of a semi-truck equipped with a diamond-tipped drill digging 400 feet into the Busy Beaver backyard bedrock.

How does this system work?  Wikipedia describes geothermal energy as, “heat retained within the Earth’s core since the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface.”

Did you know Busy Beaver is moving to a new location? We received a Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF) grant from the City of Chicago to rehab a vintage storefront in Logan Square.  It features geothermal heating and cooling, recycled tire rubber flooring, and other eco-friendly efforts to make your buttons extra awesome.  Click here for photos of the new building!
