Lightning is a large spark, or burst of electric charge, that travels through the air from one charged region of a cloud to another charged region. It occurs when one region of the atmosphere becomes highly, positively charged and another region becomes highly, negatively charged, or when a large charge difference exists between the bottom of the cloud and the ground. These large charge differences are caused by repeated collisions of small ice pellets, called graupel, within the cloud. When the charge differential becomes large enough, a bolt of lightning occurs, carrying electrical charge from one region to the other and neutralizing the charge differential. The lightning can occur between regions of the cloud, between the cloud and the surrounding air, or between the cloud and ground. As the lightning travels through the air, it heats the air to temperatures as high as 30,000° C (54,000° F). Thunder, the loud noise that accompanies lightning, results from the explosive expansion of the air as it is heated. |

Our Commitment to Animal Welfare
Our love of animals has led us to support several animal friendly causes. Most recently, we donated to the Save the Tiger Fund in conjunction with our new product launch, Tigressa Softstyle. It was a natural fit for us to spread the word about the Save the Tiger Fund and do what we could to help save the animals whose majestic beauty inspired our new line. We have also partnered with animal welfare charities such as the American Human Society, the Canadian Federation for Human Societies and the Delta Society through the Muddiest Buddies campaigns which featured our worry-free Relax, It’s Lees carpet that is perfect for pet owners. |
A Green Commitment
In addition to providing our customers with a wide selection of Green Select products, we are also committed to taking action in our stores and communities to actively make the world a cleaner and healthier place. We feel this is an important part of being responsible citizens.
We are making a green commitment in our stores and offices by focusing on educating our employees and business partners; conserving resources and reducing waste; and encouraging recycling and green maintenance practices.
For the past three years, Carpet One Floor & Home locations throughout North America have also teamed together with their communities to clean up and beautify communities in celebration of National Green Select Day.
