25+ Ways We Are Green

    We have made a commitment for our business  to be as environmentally friendly as we can. We support sustainability and continue to look for more ways to be green, conserve, re-use and recycle in everyday living.

   Here are the ways we do this:

• We are 100% powered by wind for electricity from the City of Fort Collins Wind Power project. Currently this costs more per kilowatt hour than regular electricity but these dollars contribute to the demand for green power and helps fund additional wind farms in Northern Colorado and Wyoming.
   
• Installed an energy-saver switch on the air conditioner to reduce the demand for energy during peak hours.
   
• We recycle everything possible – paper, plastic, cardboard, glass, cans and bottles and other goods.
   
• Lots of green plants indoors to assist air quality.
   
• Serving water to our clients in drinking glasses instead of using bottled water in plastic bottles.
   
• Installed thermal UV window film on all South windows to reduce energy and the load on the air conditioner in the summertime.
   
• Buying recycled office paper for documents and mail outs.
   
• Recycling all office and household paper as well as recycling all printer ink cartridges.
   
• Using email instead of paper mailing whenever possible.
   
• Sending PDF documents for information instead of  printing whenever possible.
   
• Putting information about our services on-line instead of printing them.
   
• Using Skype for conference calls instead of driving whenever possible.
   
• Currently developing  on-line eBooks & Brochures versus printed media.
   
• Drying massage laundry and sheets on the close line whenever possible to save energy.
   
• Using cloth shopping bags to eliminate the use of plastic bags.
   
• We use low flush toilets and other ways to reduce total water usage.
   
• Conserving water by using a front-load low-water washing machine.
   
• Using low watt CF light bulbs where feasible.
   
• Using environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, paper goods and other household products.
   
• Using cloth rags to clean instead of paper towels.
   
• Using essential oils in the laundry instead of wasteful dryer sheets.
   
• Buying goods with the least amount of packaging and recycled packaging whenever possible.
   
• Composting when possible.
   
• Growing flowers, herbs, perennials and Xeriscape plants to beautify the environment, provide food and shelter for wildlife and birds and provide nectar sources for hummingbirds, and support habitat for honeybees, moths and other pollinators.
   
• Commitment to NO pesticides for lawn and garden.
   
• Reducing car trips and using bicycle power when possible.
   
• Supporting the Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Association in Fort Collins, Colorado.
   
• We vote everyday with our dollars. When shopping for goods and services whenever possible, we buy local, support businesses that are organic, kind to the planet, that recycle, work toward sustainability and have green ethics.
