How can you help on Earth Day? Can your roofing decisions make a difference? With #RolfTheRoofingGuy

How can you help on Earth Day?
Can your roofing decisions make a difference?
Many clients I speak with are concerned about the #environment and want to know what they can do to help, but are worried that they will blow up their budgets if they build back everything brand new.

I like to call myself the practical environmentalist. So, here’s the question: Rather than always starting from scratch, what improvements can you make that will have a positive impact?

If you’d like to help, here’s a list of items to consider on your next roofing project:
• Recycle the old. (Divert from landfills)
• Moisture Surveys. (Prolong the roof life)
• Leak Detection System. (Prolong the roof life)
• Coatings. (Prolong the roof life, divert from landfills)
• Vented Roofs. (Prolong the roof life, divert from landfills)
• Use Recycled Materials (Divert from landfills)
• White Roofs. (Reduce Urban Heat Island Effect)
• Daylighting. (Improve employee health)
• Green Roofs. (Reduce utility use)
• Solar. (Reduce fossil-based energy use)

No one can do them all. The question is, which items from the list can you implement to help make incremental change to make a positive environmental impact?

We all live here, what change can you make?
How will history judge us?

If any of this resonates with you, let me know.
