A CARPET company is doing its bit to help the environment.

Cavalier Carpets, based on the Thompson Street industrial estate, Blackburn, has launched a programme of measures to make their business greener.

The company is looking at various things, including waste minimisation and energy efficiency.

Quality technician Karl Astley said he hoped the scheme would help Cavalier to produce environmentally-friendly carpets and protect the local and global climate.

The company has entered the Lancashire Evening Telegraph's Grimewatch awards. For full details of how you could get involved contact the Grimewatch co-ordinator by telephone on 01254 678678 ext 244, or by fax on 01254 680429.
