Notary Public Underwriters & the Ecosystem
Notary Public Underwriters believes being ecologically friendly can also be economically viable. We are fully committed to reducing our carbon footprint and building a sustainable earth. Similar to all other areas of our company, we are constantly seeking new ways to improve and protect our environment.
Energy Efficient:
We installed a 25kW solar Photovoltaic system in May 2007, powering 22% of the business’ energy needs.
The solar PV system saves 27 tons of coal from being burned each year.
Our lighting is energy efficient and we use motion detectors to turn off key lights when not in use.
All windows in our building have tinted film to reduce HVAC energy consumption.
Products and Shipping:
We use biodegradable packing peanuts in shipping over 60,000 products each year.
The use of these environmentally friendly materials prevents 288 cubic feet of solid waste from ending up in our environment annually.
All stamps from our supplier, TRODAT, are completely free from harmful heavy metals such as zinc, calcium or lead which may be dangerous or damaging to the environment.
Recycling:
Notary Public Underwriters has always made a conscious effort to recycle paper, cardboard, aluminum, light bulbs, batteries, cell phones, ink cartridges and computer components.
Our recycling efforts save 13 tons of paper, 560 pounds of aluminum and 6 tons of cardboard from entering a landfill each year.
Nature:
Notary Public Underwriters built 3 on-site rain gardens, in addition to the required storm run-off pond, to prevent pollutants from traveling downstream by allowing the water to percolate directly to the ground.
Our rain gardens prevent precious downstream water from being polluted and soil from eroding.
Recognition:
Notary Public Underwriters is certified as a Photovoltaic Independent Power Producer by the City of Tallahassee.
Notary Public Underwriters was a 2008 finalist for Green Business of the Year – Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce.
Notary Public Underwriters was featured in eco-friendly articles written in the Tallahassee Democrat, in a recent Eco-Smart program on the local government access channel, WCOT and on WCTV regarding a Solar Power press conference with Mayor Marks.
Employee Participation:
The employees saw the company’s participation in the Green Revolution and decided to take the idea home. Many staff members have started recycling with their families and have switched to energy-efficient light bulbs. The Notary Public Underwriters employees are always looking for more ways to recycle and help out through community outreach projects. Two projects employees pioneered within the company are recycling aluminum can tabs for the local Ronald McDonald House and ink cartridges for the Leon County Humane Society.
Notary Public Underwriters in the Community
Notary Public Underwriters understands the importance of giving back. We support several organizations that are dedicated to advancing the well-being of our community.
Notary Public Underwriters has a strong cooperative spirit that reaches beyond monetary donations. Our employees volunteer outside the workplace. They participate in local building projects, animal fostering, and fundraising events for children, families and cancer research.
These endeavors affect many, improving the quality of life for individuals and neighborhoods. The reward for us is in sharing our local pride with truly inspiring people we get to meet along the way.
