Every now and again it\u2019s nice to pop your head up out of the project list gopher hole and internal work focus to appreciate that you\u2019re part of a much larger community. Each individual and every business contributes to the fabric of Society in their own unique way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At HiH, we\u2019re fortunate to understand the impact of our daily work when we convert proposed energy reductions into tangible metrics like \u201ctrees planted\u201d or \u201ccars removed from the road\u201d. But we didn\u2019t want our contribution to be limited to the projects that we\u2019re directly involved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve been making Carbon Offset contributions for several years now. In 2018, initiatives that we\u2019re supporting include the Great Bear Forest Carbon Project. Now that\u2019s the way to make \u201ctrees planted\u201d feel very very real!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve also recently made the commitment to join 1% for the Planet, an international organization whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual sales to environmental causes. In this way our success as a business directly contributes to the success of others. This is a fantastic organization, started in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, the founder of Blue Ribbon Flies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would encourage all individuals and businesses to seek out similar opportunities to create more impact in the larger community through organizations and initiatives that align with their values.  You\u2019ll make new connections and create positive ripples that spread far and wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
