More Information on Green Cabinets at Gillingham’s
With the “Zero Hero” profile the CVRD was kind enough to do on their new website (www.zerowastecowichan.ca) I thought I would do a quick post to group together links to the green information on our website. As described in the zero hero profile our primary initiatives are:
- A huge reduction in landfill waste starting in January 2010 – over 90%, resulting in a reduction in our carbon footprint of over 50%.
- Switching to CARB compliant, low-emission wood panels in January 2009
- Computer Optimization of wood panel cuts, that increases consistency and reduces waste, starting in January 2008.
Links to further information on our website are:
- Our commitment to being green
- and a PDF version of the same page.
- An explanation of how we were able to reduce our carbon footprint so much
- and a press release that we wrote at the time.
I’d also like to point out that the plenty of the credit for our waste reduction belongs to the owners of Gillingham Cabinets - Dave & Bob – as well as to the rest of the staff at Gillingham’s who recycle their waste day in & day out.
