Reducing our carbon footprint is at the core of our business philosophy.
Here’s how Milton Stone is doing its part in reducing its carbon footprint and helping create a more sustainable and healthier future.
We use battery-powered tools
While we strive to use battery-powered tools to reduce emissions, we recognize that there are certain circumstances where gas-powered tools are necessary. However, we make sure to use them sparingly and efficiently to minimize their impact on the environment.
We compost organic waste from our projects
We’re committed to reducing our waste and environmental impact by composting organic materials from our landscaping projects instead of sending them to landfills. By repurposing these materials, we’re able to reduce emissions associated with transportation and landfill usage while also enriching the soil for future projects.
We use locally sourced materials
Whenever possible, we source materials locally to minimize transportation-related emissions. By supporting local businesses and utilizing nearby resources, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also contribute to the growth and sustainability of our community.
Reducing waste & saving trees
We strive to reduce paper waste by digitizing our records and communication whenever possible. By using digital tools for project management, invoicing, and communication, we minimize our reliance on paper and reduce our environmental impact while saving the trees in our world.
We donate or repurpose excess materials and equipment
We strive to reduce waste by donating or repurposing excess materials and equipment. By finding creative solutions to reuse these items, we’re able to reduce our environmental impact and promote sustainability in our industry. Additionally, we donate to local organizations that can benefit from our excess materials.
We conduct regular energy audits
We’re committed to identifying and reducing our energy usage and carbon footprint. Through regular energy audits, we pinpoint areas for improvement and implement sustainable practices to minimize our impact on the environment. By continuously monitoring our energy usage, we ensure that we’re doing our part to create a more sustainable future.
