Green Initiative

In the spirit of Earth Day HFH-MC wanted to share with you some updates on how we are helping the earth.  For the past three years HFH-MC has been purchasing its 100% wind power electricity through Clean Currents. Through this program we have been able to offset more than 203,343 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year. This is equivalent to taking 18.1 vehicles off the road (To put this in perspective, this number is more than the vehicles that HFH-MC staff drive to work each day).  We are also moving forward with our Montgomery County Green Business Certification and hope to become a certified green business by this summer. Currently there are only 35 businesses in Montgomery County who are certified as a green business, HFH-MC is excited to become one of the first businesses to receive this certification. We will keep you informed on our progress and our experience with the certification process.
