Going Green.......Saving Green

Hoyt, Brumm & Link is proud that we are USGBC certified and our chief engineer is a top-notch LEED AP. We knew what we can do as contractors hired to build a green building, but what could we do as a company to improve our own carbon footprint?

We started out small. First recycling our ink and toner cartridges, giving them to the local PTA to help out the local area schools. That was easy enough so we contracted SOCCRA to handle all of our recycling of paper and plastic products used in the office and the shop. This alone has reduced our waste by an estimated 60-70%. Now our efforts actually seemed to be making a difference.

"Why not take it a step further?" DTE Energy has an excellent rebate program they are offering to business customers to replace your traditional lighting with the more energy efficient T5 fluorescent lamps. We now have retrofitted our office and shop with the new lighting and installed sensors for some of our office lights. It is projected to save us thousands on electric bills annually, with a return on investment of less than 2 years while significantly reducing the amount of energy we consume. DTE is offering some great savings and rebate programs to residential customers as well. We encourage each household to take advantage of these offers by DTE and save both in your pocketbook and your carbon footprint. http://www.dteenergy.com/residentialCustomers/saveEnergy/

Just Another Day Off?

For most Americans Labor Day is celebrated by a long weekend of picnics, barbecues, or perhaps spending time on the beach with family and friends. It's a time to squeeze in that last vacation before the kids go back to school. However, Labor Day is more than just the symbolic end of Summer.

The first American Labor Day was celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882. A street parade was formed to display to the general public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations". This tradition continues with parades and celebrations each year throughout the country. With Detroit's strong union labor roots, its' Labor Day Parade is one of the most prominent. Often labor organizations feature political themes and appearances by officials or candidates running for office.

At Hoyt, Brumm & Link we value greatly the relationship we have built with our labor partners. We could not have enjoyed our successes, had it not been for the hard work and dedication of our employees. Again this year, we will be donating our company stake truck to the "Pipe Fitters, Steamfitters, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Service Local 636"   for the Detroit Labor Day Parade. It is only a small gesture of appreciation for our fine labor force, from both Local 636 and Plumbers Local 98.

So enjoy the barbecue, but please also take a moment to consider the importance of our nation's labor movement.
