ALON Launches Reduced Emissions Fuel Program In Lubbock

LUBBOCK, Texas, March 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In partnership with The Arbor Day Foundation, ALON Brands and GreenPrint LLC, creator of the first reduced emissions fuel programs, are launching the Strive – Reduced Emissions Fuel Program for the first time in Lubbock. The sustainability program is now available at more than 50 ALON 7-Eleven gas locations in Texas and New Mexico.

The Strive – Reduced Emissions Fuel Program allows drivers to feel good about the fuel they pump and support their community and environment just by filling up at an ALON 7-Eleven location. Now, for every gallon of fuel purchased in Lubbock, ALON will plant trees locally and invest in other projects to neutralize the associated tailpipe emissions by up to 30 percent.

"We've been very pleased with the impact the Strive program has made in the Albuquerque community, so expanding the program to our Lubbock stores was a natural next step," said Jonathan Ketchum, senior vice president of retail at ALON Brands. "As a part of our relationship with GreenPrint, we're looking forward to planting at least 5,000 trees throughout New Mexico and Texas this year."

The Strive – Reduced Emissions Fuel Program reduces customers' tailpipe emissions through GreenPrint's proprietary platform and investments in local, regional, and global certified carbon reduction projects and tree plantings. Unlike alternative fuels, GreenPrint's reduced emissions gasoline program requires no new software, hardware, new tanks, vehicles, or equipment. Instead, customers with traditional vehicles pump the same high-quality ALON fuel as always. While benefiting the environment, the program also aims to drive sales, increase loyalty, and encourage customers to always choose ALON 7-Eleven stations.

Until the time comes when everyone is driving zero-emission vehicles, Strive is a simple program to help address a global challenge.

"ALON has long invested in its communities and we are proud to join them in this process," shares  Peter Davis, founder and CEO of GreenPrint. "We're excited to continue expanding the positive impact Strive has had for ALON thus far. Today 90 percent of consumers take a few extra steps to the blue bin to recycle because it's easy to do the right thing. Similarly, ALON 7-Eleven is making it easy for consumers to drive clean. We believe that the people in Lubbock will continue to turn into ALON 7-Eleven stations when it's time to fill up."
