Living green
Living an environmentally conscious lifestyle is much more than just building with recycled products and installing energy efficient features… It means a lifestyle of conservation too.
EP is built to operate over the years using as little energy as possible -
- We have used landscaping that is indigenous (this means that the grasses, plants and bushes are native to SW MO and require little maintenance and irrigation.
- We recapture rain water to water flower beds … Why doesn’t everyone do this?
- eko Park uses all recycled paper for our leases and other marketing and written correspondence.
- We encourage online bill-pay and maintenance requests to save paper.
- On your move-in day, EP will provide you with a gift bag that will contain…
Non-toxic household cleaners, suggestions on how to live green, an eco grocery bag, water bottle, organic T-shirt and much more. - We’ve provided you with a place to live built with many recycled and environmentally conscience materials. We’ve made your apartment efficient by using energy saving systems, construction techniques, windows, doors, and insulation… Now here’s how you can commitment to living conscience….
- Use your programmable thermostat to save energy… Start this habit and do it for the rest of your life for a better tomorrow.
- We’ve outfitted your apartment with florescent light bulbs that will save over conventional bulbs. Always replace using the same… Make it habit.
- Sure we installed low water usage shower heads but by you taking shorter showers you can make a difference. Remember, every drop counts!
