Fake Grape Environmental Statement

Fake Grape is trying to do our part to foster a cleaner environment. Our office runs on wind power credits, we have reduced our paper output by 80%, we use recycled paper, we recycle the paper we do use, we suggest printed materials created for our clients contain mostly if not all recycled materials; we use the internet and email instead of driving and flying as much as possible.

We also have a flexible work from home policy, where employees and contractors can eliminate carbon emissions from driving into the office daily.Fake Grape suggests eliminating societal/environmental costs of driving and flying by using technology instead.

We encourage you to eliminate unnecessary travel and harm to the environment by accessing your files online, telephone conferencing, web conferencing and sending email.According to Trees for the Future, a program aimed at offsetting travel-related emissions, a jet emits approximately one pound of carbon dioxide per passenger mile. That means 3.2 million acres of trees would need to be planted every year to offset the emissions caused by the 240 billion miles the National Business Travelers Association claims are racked up by U.S. business travelers annually. Add in the greenhouse gases generated by rental cars, the energy and water use of hotels, and waste produced by conferences and meetings, and it's obvious: Greening business travel, meetings and business practices results in significant environmental benefits.

Please keep in mind these other factors when choosing your options:
Air Pollution Damage (health costs, crops, trees, materials, etc.)
Natural Resource Consumption Costs
Road Noise/ Noise Pollution / Congestion
CO2 Emissions
Water Pollution and Hydrologic Impacts

We hope our commitment has inspired your office to help the environment as well.
