Socially & Environmentally Responsible Holly Pagnacco

"Tread lightly upon the earth."

Holly believes in sustainable, socially and environmentally responsible business practises. Her home office contains recyclable & reused materials and low power equipment. She uses public, pedal and ped-powered transportation. She purchases carbon offsets to neutralize her carbon footprint. Every little bit helps. We are all responsible for the choices we make.

Here is how you can help:

• Calculate your carbon footprint & purchase offsets
• Switch your energy distributor
• Register for Peak Saver
• Get a water meter installed
• Get an energy audit and take advantage of Gov't grants.
• Bike. Walk. Take public transit. Share a car.
• Recycle (computers, batteries, ink toners and cellphones)
• Go to Farmers Markets to meet farmers and buy their locally-produced food (they may not be certified organic, but most farmers use the same practises)
• Think about the life cycle of the things you buy. Where were they made? How long will they last? Where do they go afterwards?
• Use reusable shopping bags and containers (ceramic, stainless steel and glass)
• Give an hour of your salary to a charity
• Get involved in a local grassroots organization
• Meet the people in your neighbourhood
• Become a vegetarian
• Freecycle.
• Support your local grocery. Don't shop at "big box" stores.
• Have a car free day in your neighbourhood.
