Carolina Biological Supply Company has been a leader in science education for more than 80 years, and we understand the importance of conserving Earth’s natural resources. We’ve always employed many environmentally sound practices (such as sustainable organism collection), but with the growing pressures on ecosystems worldwide, Carolina has increased its commitment to corporate environmental stewardship.
In this section of our Web site, learn more about how we are working to preserve the ecological balance of our planet and how you can incorporate more environmentally responsible practices in your own science classroom or lab. Be sure to visit this section periodically, because as we find new ways to “green” your curriculum, we’ll post that information here. We will also continue to actively search out ways to reduce our environmental impact while delivering the highest quality products and services to our customers.
