There are plenty of ways for us as a company to reduce our carbon footprint. eBuilding Service, a leader in the commercial building maintenance, commercial construction, commercial tenant finish, commercial refrigeration and commercial havc repair and service , is an eco-conscious organization that strives to provide environmentally-friendly products and services. By using green practices such as eliminating waste, increasing efficiencies and reducing carbon-dioxide emissions, eBuilding Service can effectively meet the needs of today’s green-minded consumers.
During this holiday season, we sent our customers environmentally friendly greeting cards. Our greeting cards contain wildflower seeds imbedded into the cards so that our customers can literally cut the card into small pieces, plant the card into the ground, water and watch the flowers grow. Where a special thank you is appropriate, we try to use gift cards whenever possible. These cards can be purchased online and a large number of retailers now offer gift cards made out of green elements like such as eco friendly bio plastic.
Our company’s green initiative starts with our information technology department. Computer equipment consumes considerable amounts of energy and requires a great deal of hardware in order to maintain the internal and external communication devices that our staff, customers and clients rely on. Our IT department uses virtualization with our servers . In a nutshell, virtualization software allows us to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single computer — turning one computer into many, saving energy and space. This is just one example of how proper management of technology is reducing our company’s carbon footprint energy emissions.
