TAKE PART IN EARTH HOUR!
March 1, 2008 - Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.
This simple act has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. As a result, at 8pm March 29, 2008 millions of people in some of the world’s major capital cities, including Copenhagen, Toronto, Chicago, Melbourne, Brisbane and Tel Aviv will unite and switch off for Earth Hour.

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
February 20, 2008 - Many initiatives in the ongoing Whites Goes Green™ project are large in scale. Others are faster and easier to put into place, but still have a great impact!
From now on, all outgoing WFW staff e-mails will contain a simple phrase:
Please consider the environment before printing my e-mail
It is our hope that this little thing will make a big difference.

PACKAGE TRUCKS SET A NEW STANDARD
November 15, 2007 - WFW continues to lead the entertainment industry in becoming a green supplier. The two newest WFW Package Trucks are 2007 Internationals equipped with TIER III Cummins engines. TIER III is the highest standard of emission reduction currently available in North America.
WFW is also committed to bringing the new generators on these trucks, as well as the one on the WFW Camera Car, to TIER III compliancy. This should be accomplished early in 2008, once the exhaust after treatments (scrubbers) are finished development, testing and installation.
Once these generators are successfully upgraded, the process of converting much of the remainder of the WFW fleet of generators across Canada to TIER III compliancy will begin!

GENERATORS GO GREEN
May 31, 2007 - Our first major initiative will be to work towards “going green” with the fleet of Generators. This ongoing process will include:
- Slightly extended service intervals to reduce the frequency of waste/waste filters
- Evaluation/rebuild of all fuel system and critical inlet system components at time of major engine servicing
- Fitting of Engine Crankcase Gas Ventilation Capture (Fleetguard – Enviroguard™ or Racor Crankvent™) devices on generator engines
- Yearly/bi-yearly testing of all vehicle diesel and gasoline engines
- Use of Ultra-Low Sulphur (<15ppm) Content Diesel Fuel
- Retrofitting the GESi™ exhaust after-treatment and particulate filter system (from Global Emissions of Markham, Ontario) to provide state-of-the-art diesel engine scrubbers and gasoline catalytic converters for Non, Tier I and Tier II diesel generator engines already in service
- Inclusion of Cummins Tier III engines, or the equivalent, on all new or retrofit generator engines.
