Tour the Green Side of Quality Bike Products (QBP)
Did you know QBP gets a big chunk of its energy straight from the sun? Or that our water-stingy technologies save 45,000 gallons of water a year? Or that our sustainable landscaping actually destroys pollutants before they get into the eco-system? Learn about these and other environmental features of our business by taking an eco-tour of QBP's LEED Gold Certified distribution center and office complex in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Eco-tours take place the first Wednesday of every month and are free and open to the public. To schedule a tour for your group, please contact green@qbp.com or call 952-941-9778.
