Carbon Footprint
Many of our daily activities are a major contributing factor to greenhouse gas emissions that affect global climate change. Addressing this change is imperative to help ensure a safe world to live in tomorrow and for generations to come. Master Meter is proactively working to address and reduce our carbon footprint one small step at a time.
Shrinking the Work Week.
By cutting the work week by one day Master Meter has reduced total annual employee miles by over 75,000. We are now able to cut the thermostat one extra day per week and decrease our total energy consumption.
Energy Reduction.
Synthetic mesh solar screens have been placed across all windows at our Mansfield headquarters blocking 95% of the sun's heat from being transferred within the building. All offices are equipped with 'smart' power bars, to promote daily computer and peripheral shutdown, as well as motion activated light switches. From these activities our total monthly energy consumption has been reduced by 35%.
Eliminate Bottled Water.
Master Meter has also eliminated the use of bottled water by employing in-house water filtration; this initiative has reduced thousands of pounds of annual transportation related carbon and helps shrink landfill waste.
Alternative Energy.
Master Meter is blessed to be headquartered in Texas—a state with wide open skies full of bright sun and constant wind. We are exploring harnessing both of these elements through solar and wind power.
While there are many initiatives that can be done to help lower our overall carbon footprint it all begins with us, as individuals, employees, and as a company. Master Meter hopes that our choices will influence others to be more aware and seek out eco-friendly solutions to saving energy and creating a low carbon world.
