Men in Kilts has been voted Greenest Business in Richmond, BC thanks in part to their Eco Friendly ‘5 Minute Green Estimate’
Richmond, BC, June 02, 2009 — Men in Kilts CEO Brent Hohlweg says “At Men in Kilts doing the right thing really can be affordable, convenient and have a huge positive environmental impact! We’ve invested heavily in clean technology that allows us to provide free GREEN ESTIMATES in under 5 minutes by phone and present our prices including current insurance and worksafe papers right up front for your protection.”
Brent goes on to say that “no other company servicing the Lower Mainland in Vancouver for the Window Cleaning, Gutter Cleaning and Pressure Washing business has any technology that even comes close to our eco friendly efforts. Usually when you call a service company they dispatch an estimator to your home and that single act puts in motion some significant environmental concerns. If the estimator is eliminated or reduced we all win as one less truck gets put on the road! The gas alone for one average service truck to be dispatched for an estimate releases hundreds of pounds of CO2 into the environment every year.”
Men in Kilts proudly has also become the first company in our industry to be using Bullfrog Power, Canada’s 100% green electricity provider, offering our office energy with a 100% low-impact renewable electricity choice. Bullfrog Power’s green electricity comes exclusively from wind and hydro facilities that have been certified as low impact by Environment Canada under its ‘EcoLogo’ program, instead of from carbon-intensive sources like coal and natural gas or from higher impact hydro facilities. As a Bullfrog Power customer Men in Kilts is helping enable new green generation facilities to be built in Canada.
Men in Kilts also only uses all natural cleaning solutions that are 100% biodegradable, and all fleet operations are ‘Climate Friendly’ by Offsetters http://www.offsetters.ca/ .In fact Brent notes that “Men in Kilts has gone so far as to even ensure that the office network is using Green Low Energy technology” by Dlink Green Products.
Brent finished by saying that everyone at Men in Kilts is “humbled and proud that in our fragmented industry of Window Cleaning, Gutter Cleaning and Pressure Washing in Vancouver’s Lower Mainland we have been able to take a leading GREEN COMMITMENT http://meninkilts.net/new/green.html in our industry and be voted the GREENEST BUSINESS by our customers”.
