Sharper Impressions Painting Goes Green

Sharper Impressions Painting Goes Green

Sharper Impressions Painting has offset the carbon footprint of its office staff, servers and physical offices, a great development in its 18 years in the resident painting industry.

A carbon footprint is “the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product” (UK Carbon Trust 2008). An individual, nation, or organization’s carbon footprint is measured by undertaking a GHG emissions assessment. Once the size of a carbon footprint is known, a strategy can be devised to reduce it.

Carbon offsets, or the mitigation of carbon emissions through the development of alternative projects such as solar or wind energy or reforestation, represent one way of managing a carbon footprint.
The concept and name of the carbon footprint originates from the ecological footprint discussion.[1] The carbon footprint is a subset of the ecological footprint. (Source Wikipedia.org)

Offsetting with Carbonfund.org comes with the company’s commitment to conserving the environment for future generations. “We hope our Green initiatives will educate and motivate other businesses to do the same,” says owner Sharper Impressions Painting Geoff Sharp.

In addition to being a partner with us, Sharper Impressions Painting is reducing its carbon footprint by recycling office materials, using compact fluorescent light bulbs, as well as utilizing paints with low volatile organic compounds (VOC) to avoid releasing as much fumes and toxins found in conventional paints and primers.
