What does it mean to reduce? The all-important first step towards being ecologically sound, to reduce means to simplify, to pare down. It starts with the awareness of what is really important to you, both as a consumer and as a person. Reducing your impact on the earth will make your aware of when you’re being wasteful so you can stop.
How does South Moon Under reduce their impact? By using simple solutions with a low environmental 
impact, South Moon Under has been able to reduce their energy expenditure greatly. Skylights and large windows allow natural light to cascade into each room, thus eliminating the need for harsh overhead florescent lighting - this cuts back on energy use and costs. Additionally, each window is outfitted with insulated glass, helping to keep the room cooler in the warm months and warmer in the cold months. Larger steps have been taken as well, such as the use of Geo-Thermal Heat Pumps, Passive Lighting, ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation), and Foster and Smith’s biodegradable packing peanuts– find out more about these options when you click on the links.Simple steps to help you reduce your impact:
