The investment in green building and finishing projects can be substantial, but my feelings are strong about reducing environmental waste and greenhouse gases. With your commitment to this new initiative, it can happen faster. This does mean there will be some additional costs associated with the new processes (the stripping agents alone are double the cost of conventional products). It should be clear to everyone by now, however, that progress does not come without some sacrifice. I invite you to be part of this exciting transition.
Over the past few years, I have already begun using more water-based finishing materials which have very low VOC (Volitile Organic Compounds) content. Not only is this healthier for me, but it's kind to my community as well. Cleanup is reduced to water and mild detergents, and any waste generated is generally biodegradable.
Feel free to inquire with any questions you may have about this new venture. Let's GO GREEN!
Thanks!
