How We Protect The Earth
Best in the West Safety’s commitment to sustainability and protection the world that we work and live in is through best practices like installing energy efficient lighting, low water use fixtures and buying recycled content or compostable products. These actions directly conserves Earth’s precious natural resources by reducing the need for virgin material extraction and manufacturing and water. We are proud that our headquarters are within a building that earned an EPA Energy Star rating of 98%. We work in a building that features daylighting switch sensors and LED lighting, and low-flow water fixtures, and xeriscape all of which significantly minimizes energy and water consumption. These proactive measures not only lower the company’s environmental footprint but also contribute to a healthier planet for future generations by preserving vital resources, reducing pollution, and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility.
Here’s a breakdown of how these practices contribute:
- Conserving Natural Resources: Recycling metals, aluminum, and paper reduces the demand for mining, deforestation, and the energy-intensive processes required to create new materials.
- Reducing Energy Consumption: Utilizing LED lighting, daylight sensors, and an Energy Star rated building drastically lowers electricity usage, lessening the strain on power grids and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production.
- Minimizing Water Usage: Low-flush toilets and water-efficient faucets conserve a vital natural resource, especially crucial in arid regions like Las Vegas.
- Reducing Waste and Pollution: Choosing compostable plastics and recycled content products minimizes landfill waste and the pollution associated with the production and disposal of conventional materials.
- Promoting a Sustainable Future: By implementing these best practices, Best in the West Safety demonstrates our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, setting a positive example and contributing to a more sustainable and resource-secure future for our children.
By diligently implementing these sustainable best practices, Best in the West Safety actively contributes to the preservation of our planet’s finite natural resources, ensuring their availability not just for our children, but for their children and generations to come. This commitment to resource conservation, coupled with significant reductions in energy and water consumption, and the minimization of waste and pollution, fosters a legacy of environmental responsibility. We are not only operating sustainably today but are actively investing in a healthier, more resource-secure world that our descendants will inherit and thrive in for countless years.
