When running a business or managing large properties it isn't always easy to make sure environmentally friendly products are purchased and used. Most times the bottom line is the deciding factor on what products are used for projects. 

On Earth Day we at Rich-Tomkins want to make sure you know you can watch that bottom line, keep customers or management happy AND keep the planet's health on your mind while completing projects. 

1. Install WaterSense Labeled Products: Delta Faucet Company has some great WaterSense Labeled Products for just about any type of install- high-end to inexpensive residences- that can help  you not only save water, but money on sewer and energy bills. 

2. Speaking of Delta, have you checked out their H20Kinetic Technology? Their water-sculpting shower heads give users the feeling of using more water, while using less, and the special droplets keep the water warmer longer! Again, less water used is more money saved.

3. High Efficiency Toilets- If you have any old toilets installed you are literally flushing money away (I couldn't resist!). Old toilets can flush at a rate of SEVEN gallons per flush. New, WaterSense Labeled toilets must flush at 1.28 gallons per flush or less. Switch one old, seven gallon model that flushes five times a day to a new, 1.28 gallons per flush model  and you will save almost 10,000 gallons of water per year! Our Vitra toilets have many great residential and commerical options. 

There are plenty more ways to save the earth and help reduce our energy and water consumption, but reading about it is not as exciting as talking in person. If you want to learn more check out www.richtomkins.com, or connect with me and I can get you on the path to saving water, energy and money.
