We don’t pretend to be perfect, but we’re proud of the progress we’ve made toward being more sustainable for the next generation of residents. While this is just a glimpse of our efforts here at The Forum at Rancho San Antonio, here’s a few resident-led initiatives we’re proud of.
generated by on-site solar panels
of greenhouse gas emissions avoided through EV charging ports
of community areas lit by energy-efficient LED lighting
compliance with removing single-use plastics from operational use
Providing one-third of The Forum’s total electricity use, these smart energy solutions will save our community up to $400,000 per year over the life of our vendor contract.
As we near our goal of 100% elimination of single-use plastics, we’ve created innovative strategies, such as reusable to-go meal containers, and have even achieved significant cost savings by introducing mesh bags for the pickup and delivery of sheets and towels.
As we continue to work toward a full EV community company fleet, we’re encouraging more EV purchases and supporting EV ownership among new residents. We are in the final permitting process to install Level 2 charging stations in 25 designated spaces across our five parking garages.
There's certainly a feeling around here, and I think it's captured by the fact that sustainability is in our mission statement. That we all really do want to leave the planet in a little better shape than we found it.
