/EINPresswire.com/ -- This Earth Day, Fitzgerald Auto Mall reinforces its commitment to eco-friendly practices with their 2022 energy offset report from their solar canopy. For the sixth year in a row, Fitzgerald Auto Mall’s solid waste recycling percentage increased to 87.3%, which is more than twice the national average for businesses.
Fitzgerald is thrilled to report that in 2022, 83% of Fitzgerald Auto Mall’s operating energy was offset by the solar canopy with savings against average of $184,000 this past year.

Increasing investments in clean energy also makes perfect business sense,” said Jack Fitzgerald.
