At All My Sons of Chicago, we understand the importance of going green. Even our logo has gone green! Okay, so really it’s been that way all along…but it definitely does go along with our mission to be responsible to the Earth. For instance, we are always recycling in the office. If an extra sheet of paper is printed, we cut it up to be scrap paper or we use the other side for printing things that stay in the office. When we bring our lunches to work, we bring them in lunch pails with silverware instead of brining them in a paper bag with disposable plastic utensils.
We also like to save fuel, and with fluctuating gas prices, who doesn’t? Many of our employees carpool or use the bus that comes right by our warehouse. Additionally, when the warehousemen are loading up a truck with storage, we have the trucks turned off.
Every night before we leave the office, all the lights and the computers are shut off. We also turn down the air conditioning or heat when we leave. Sure, it might be a little chilly when we arrive on a cold Chicago winter morning, but it’s nothing a sweater and flipping back on the heat can’t fix! We also keep the air conditioning and heat at a reasonable level when it’s on.
Have you tried going green? It’s really not all that hard when habits are changed. We do not even have to think about doing the green things we anymore – they’ve become such a part of our everyday habits, it’s just what we do.
Love,
Your responsible, Earth-friendly mover
