 WHAT DOES GREEN CONSTRUCTION MEAN TO US?
Chase Toppers is doing our part in helping to sustain our environment. Here are some things we focus on:
Our Services
We recycle every existing chimney cap and chase cover that we remove from our customers' homes.
We recycle all packaging materials used for transporting our products.
Installing only Lifetime Guaranteed stainless steel and copper chase covers and chimney caps means a one-time solution to our customers, and less waste in landfills.
Our Business Operations
In our offices, we make smart choices for the everyday needs of our business operations, from 100% recycled copy/printer paper and sticky notes, to notebooks made from sustainable sugar cane paper which is made from unused sugar cane bagasse. Bagasse is the fibrous residue left over after the sugar cane has been crushed and the sugar extracted. Sugar cane is considered a good resource for sustainable energy production as well, since it is a fast growing crop. Using the otherwise discarded remnants of the sugar cane to produce paper products makes good sense and helps to save some trees along the way.
We use energy star and energy efficient appliances and office equipment to reduce energy consumption.
We are in the research phase of employing solar-electric solutions for our offices to further reduce our dependence on traditional coal-base electricity production.
Our Technical Operations
We are intentional about consolidating our visits to customers located in the same geographical area. Not only does this save fuel costs and consumption, but it reduces carbon emissions by spending less time on the roads.
We are in the planning stages of switching to diesel powered vehicles, that are capable of operating on biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend.
The Bottom Line
These measures may cost us a little more, but the benefits to our environment are worth it. Just like our company philosophy, making smart choices about how we operate our business is simply, just the right thing to do.
