Expanding on Square One
TxD has recently joined the Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership, a voluntary program dedicated to the reduction of the environmental impact associated with conventional electricity use. TxD has utilized wind power for 100 percent of its electricity since 2006.
“Originally, we supported green power because it furthered our existing organizational practices, reinforced the environmental and health benefits of the products we sell and was simply the right thing to do,” said Dan Emmel, TxD president. “It turned out to be a keystone for us, helping us to build and strengthen our business and community relationships and to expand our commitments — from sustainable business practices to sustainable lifestyles. By adding company support for gardening, tree planting, community agriculture, home energy audits, etc., we continue to increase work partner participation and reduce our carbon footprint,” said Emmel. “Green power is really a commitment to our future, people and planet. Business and industry must play a leadership role.”
