If we can do something and we don't, then we're acting irresponsibly.
The challenge has been issued within the walls of Townline to reduce the company's carbon footprint by 30%. There was no specific directive as to what or how that would be done for a very good reason. It caused staff to think and begin talking about how that might be achieved.
Consequently, all sorts of ideas have come to the fore from a variety of sources. And many of those ideas have now been implemented. Things like using demolition companies who actively sort, separate and recycle reclaimed materials; developing an innovative burn pit to deal with waste materials in Squamish; using Low VOC paints in every Townline home; drawers for recycling in all of our kitchens.
Where we can make the responsible choice, we will. And when there is no apparent choice, we will design a solution.
Is reducing our carbon footprint by 30% achievable? We absolutely believe it is. And more.
