Natural Zing

Natural Zing is the largest raw vegan food distributor in the US offering over 1,000 products to consumers, natural food stores, restaurants, and raw food manufactures.

Top 15 Things Natural Zing Does to Save The Earth:
1. Selling only raw vegan food. Using minimal energy to make (except from the sun). And no animals had to be fed or killed to produce this food. LOTS of WATER and RESOURCE SAVINGS!
2. We sell wild-crafted products from the Amazon rain forest to provide Amazon natives with an income that is derived from maintaining the rain forest not cutting it down.
3. Heat our building with soy-bio-diesel fuel. Additional heat is provided by a stove that burns corn (corn is bought from a local farmer).
4. Use recycled and reused boxes and packing material.
5. Uses bio-degradable corn starch packing peanuts, messages on ink stamps instead of paper or labels.
6. Uses recycled 100% post consumer, non chlorine bleach paper for all paper uses.
7. Uses recycled 100% post consumer waste paper and soy-based ink for our catalog.
8. Uses recycled paper and soy based in for product labels on Natural Zing branded products.
9. Uses green energy for our electricity.
10. Uses energy star appliances.
11. Our new warehouse is a green building. It has a passive solar design reducing heating and cooling costs. It has radiant heat in the flooring, geothermal cooling for maximum efficiency. Also, painted with low VOC paint.
12. Composting toilets are planned to be installed later in 2008.
13. And though the warehouse, because of its design, uses minimal electricity solar panels are being installed this summer to power the warehouse and the adjacent building that holds our offices.
14. Uses sunlight as much as possible as our light source.
15. And we consciously seek ways to reduce our foot print on the earth. Our new area of focus is packaging. We are researching compostable packaging for our labeled products.
