Sustainability

Down to Earth

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. Where we can make the responsible choice, we will. And when there is no apparent choice, we will design a solution.
