Doing right by the Planet – Our partnership with PSE and Light Doctor

As promised, we are acting on our environmental stewardship.  The latest item now complete is our lighting retrofit.  We partnered with the Light Doctor (Mountlake Terrace, WA) and Puget Sound Energy to dramatically cut our lighting cost to our 5000 square foot facility.  I am hopeful that our energy usage from lighting will be cut by 2/3!  That is right; our energy use from lighting will be 1/3 of what it was just a few days ago!  Talk about a decrease in carbon footprint!

Initially, both myself and landlord were concerned about the color and amount of light that we would get out of the change, but check out the pictures below.  They are taken without a flash and are unedited.

I want to personally thank Willy of the Light Doctor for his patience and great service as well as Lee from Puget Sound Energy for his commitment to the environment and financial subsidy to make this project happen.

I think we have significantly improved our lighting, saved energy, and helped the environment at the same time.  To me, that is part of what being the leader of meaningful recognition is all about!
