Commitment
At Green Sand Inc., we have the technical expertise required to make our projects sustainable and an example of what architecture can and should be. We strive to be a model of environmental stewardship. As such, GSI has established environmental policies and procedures to help us track, monitor, and provide examples for what a small business can do to reduce its carbon footprint. Our corporate programs include the selection of our office, purchasing, reducing waste, recycling, and of course how we design our projects. We reduce our footprint to the extent possible and then offset the remainder through Carbonfund.org.
Partner Quote
Green Sand Inc. founder Matthew Goyke said, “We’re big believers in practicing architecture in the context of environmental sustainability. It is important that people realize the impact their actions have on the environment. We all need to reduce our footprint to the extent possible and then mitigate the rest through programs such as Carbonfund.org. Sustainable design is about good design, designing to reduce energy needs, reduce waste, and to have a project that is healthier to inhabit and more durable. This approach targets the problem from four different angles: appropriate use of resources, reducing waste, health and the enjoyment of built space, durability and maintenance.”
