Additional Green Activities
Boston Tree Preservation’s commitment to organic and environmentally friendly
programs for the landscape has further expanded to include a commitment as a
company to reduce carbon emissions and lessen our footprint on the planet. We
want to do our part to help preserve the earth for present and future
generations.
We produce our organic compost tea fertilizers at the BTP facility from the
castings of 5 million worms in our worm farm.
We converted our fleet of 30 diesel trucks and sales vehicles to biodiesel
fuel. In partnership with Whole Foods and local restaurants, we make
biodiesel at our facility with their used vegetable oil. This will
considerably lessen our carbon emissions as well as promote community through
collaboration with local businesses.
We heat our entire 10,000 square foot facility with wood, an obvious byproduct
of our business, in an energy efficient, state-of-the art woodstove.
We renovated our offices with green building supplies – biodegradable flooring
made from linseed, wood fibers and cork; odorless paint for the walls; low flush
toilets; full spectrum lighting; and sustainable bamboo accessories.
We recycle all woodchips for energy in neighboring bioplants.
We recycle all paper products, bottles and cans.
We are keeping our first honey bee hive. Honey and bee pollen are not
only highly nutritious and medicinal, but with Colony Collapse Disorder so
prevalent today, every home should have one.
We are working towards developing a green roof by planting giant pumpkins on
the roof, which will absorb heat and sound, save energy, and provide aesthetic
appeal.
We invite you to visit Boston Tree Preservation for a tour of the
facility. School groups of all ages are welcome to visit the worm farm and
biodiesel maker. Please call 781-729-0095 if you have questions or are
interested in a tour. We welcome the opportunity.
