We are
active / aggressive in reducing our carbon footprint on the Earth.
We believe that the Earth is our mother and we must be in balance with the
rhythms of nature. A green company is one that lives in harmony with all
the inhabitants of the Earth. Humans are part of this world, not outside
of it. Our modern economic system is based on a misguided philoslphy.
It will, by it's nature, crash. Global warming and the destruction of the planet by mankind is a reality.
Only those who are paid by large corporate interests say otherwise. The
changes that are taking place on the planet should be obvious even to the most
obtuse observer. Therefore, we are trying to be as energy
independent as possible. We want to do our part.

We recycle as much as we can.
Conservation
| electricity - all studio illumination provided by LED lights which are
up to 98% more efficient |
| gas - we are in the process of purchasing a nessan leaf 100% electric
car |
| water - all the toilets and shower heads are low flow. |
| water - we collect rain water for washing cars etc. |
Power Generation
| we have made our own battery banks that can run for months at a time to
generate small amounts of electricity. |
| we conserved so much that solar & wind power will soon be our major
source of power. |
| Backup power - we use a tri fuel generator (gas, natural gas and
propane) we run the generator off of propane. |
| The studio will run for several hours if the main power goes out.
So far it has been enough time to finish an recording session.
This actually happened once

Our goal is to be 100% alternative power in the near future.
More coming soon.
