Why we're Green
A home business that: recycles everything, only uses recycled and reused printer paper, only uses fluorescent lighting, uses a smart strip to sleep or turn off devices automatically. We set our automatic thermostat at 68°; on hot days we stop work at 4 and use fans, no A/C. We use greywater and rainwater irrigation, and have a composting toilet. The business is near bus lines and walking distance to many services. We seek out green vendors and purchase carbon offsets annually. We purchase used cars and furniture. We display a 'no idling' sign in the driveway and provide signs to our customers as well. Going solar was a 15-year challenge since our Victorian home had an old roof, but we achieved it!
