Dover, NH Gets A Little GREENER!

Dover gets a little greener Dover Gets a Little Greener!                                          

Simply Green plans to open a biofuel station IN DOVER!

The Straham, NH based biofuel company plans to have the station open by mid November.

Located at 547 Central Avenue, near the Sixth Street intersection, puts it in the heart of Dover making green fuel an easy choice!

The station will offer pumps carrying ~

     E10 motor fuel ~ made with 10% Ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline.       
The E10 blend can be used in any motor vehicle without modifications.


B5 Biodiesel ~  Uses 5% biofuel and 95% diesel fuel
Offers between .5 and 1.5 more miles per gallon
Priced competetively with standard diesel!


B20 Biodiesel ~  Uses 20% biofuel and 80% diesel fuel
Priced only 5 to 10 cents more per gallon

Any diesel vehicle can use up to 20% biofuel without system modifications
Simply Green's biofuel is a blend of soybean oil and tallow.
The diesel used comes from Sprague Energy in Newington, making Simply Green a VERY green company (BUY LOCAL!)

All are cleaner burning! Better for both the vehicle AND the environment!

But it's not all about the fuel! The station will also have a "congreenience" store! At least 75% of  the inventory will be from within a 100 mile radius. Local and organic products will also be offered.

Let's Help! Help Me Help Local Foster Children!      

There are hundreds of children in our local Foster program.
All of them have suffered

The families who take them in have big hearts!
But they don't always have big wallets

These children are always in need of something
This winter season I would like to help

I have teamed up with a representative from the local DCYF
We have created our BOOT TREE

Pick a boot from the tree
Buy them and return them to me!

Busy?
I will do the shopping, pick them up from you....
Anything!

Let's get these kids the boots they need for winter
Stop in to my office or CALL me!

Together we CAN make a difference!
