Mission
We are dedicated to supporting green events by offering green options to conserve our natural resources and reduce unnecessary waste to protect and preserve our future.
How We Conduct Business
· Our Warehouse in Alameda, California is a re-purposed historical building on a retired Naval Base.
· We are supporters of Alameda's Green programs and of Sun Cal, a developer hired for the navy base that is committed to advancing green building concepts. When the master plan for the base is finalized we hope that we will be here to stay and will continue the LEED application process.
· Alameda Power & Telecom: "More than 80% of Alameda's power is generated using renewable resources such as geothermal and hydroelectric facilities. And that's just part of our commitment to environmental values. A Community Goal: "Being the lowest greenhouse-gas-emitting community in Alameda County and one of the lowest in the State!" · We have re-lit the space with more energy efficient lights.
· We are recycling more of our waste, by donating computers, metal, and wood to the community.
· All of our rental items are housed locally, serving 90% of our market, which conserves fuel consumption unlike other national General Service Contractors who house their items in remote warehouses.
· We offer 100% recycled substrates for our signage.
· When possible we use both sides of the signs that we produce, re-purpose after that for packing materials, or donate it to individuals in the community.
· Our existing carpet inventory is made from a minimum of 25% recycled material, repaired/seemed to get the full life of the carpet, than re-purposed for packing materials. Future carpet purchases will be 100% recycled carpet and scraps will be recycled back into carpet.
· Our employees regularly utilize public transit and to promote the use of public transit to the job site we reimburse the cost to our union crews and promote carpooling.
· When applicable our office prints double-sided, utilizes 100% post consumer chlorine free paper, we separate our paper from any non-recyclable trash in bins than deliver to a company who recycles the paper back into consumer products.
· We use Simple Green as our standard cleaning agent.
