Doing the Right Thing, One Choice at a Time
We strive to make responsible choices in both our personal and business lives. When selecting products and services, we prioritize companies that not only deliver exceptional quality but also act as responsible stewards of our planet.
Over the years, we’ve taken steps to reduce our environmental impact. We’ve decommissioned our internal servers and transitioned to cloud-based solutions. Our barn now runs on a high-efficiency propane boiler from Houseneeds, managed with a Nest thermostat. And as our old bulbs burn out, we replace them with energy-efficient LED lighting.
A Renewable Energy Commitment
Unfortunately, our Vermont office isn’t ideally positioned for solar panels or solar hot water. But that doesn’t mean we can’t choose greener energy.
Thankfully, our local power provider, Green Mountain Power (GMP), offers an alternative. Through their GreenerGMP program, we voluntarily pay an additional $0.03 per kilowatt-hour to source 50% of our electricity from renewable sources—wind, water, solar, wood, and even… cows. Yes, Cow Power is a thing!
Supporting Renewable Energy, Even Without Solar Panels
We’re not sharing this to pat ourselves on the back—we just want to spread the word. You don’t need to invest thousands in solar panels or wind turbines to support clean energy. Programs like GreenerGMP allow businesses and individuals to contribute to the growth and maintenance of renewable energy sources, no installation required.
Small choices add up. And when those choices help power a more sustainable future, we think that’s worth talking about.
