  LOS ANGELES, CA,

Resource Conservation Group

– Thanks to a steady supply of locally reclaimed Douglas Fir, barnwoods and others, local furniture maker Riley Rea has seen his business more than quadruple in one year. While this would be an impressive growth rate in any economy, it’s even more spectacular considering the current situation. How are they doing it? By keeping it local…

Resource Conservation Group was started in 1994 by owner Douglas “Fir” Stoutenburg as a way of diverting thousands of pounds of usable wood which were ending up in local landfills.

As buildings are demolished, Stoutenburg acquires the wood, sorts it and catalogues it at his mill in Pacoima, where it is then cut and planed into “new” flooring and lumber.

The milling system at Resource Conservation Group is one of the most efficient available, which means that there is very little waste. When a structure is being “deconstructed”, every piece of usable wood is preserved. Stoutenburg feels that by taking this kind of care of the wood, a tree cut down in 1850 and once used for structural wood now gets a second life as flooring and that “tree can live forever.” Not only is the quality of the wood available for flooring and lumber today lesser, but reclaiming wood prevents the unnecessary cutting of thousands of trees, simply by re-using the ones that have already been harvested.

“After World War II,” says Stoutenburg, “the traditional 2″x 4″ became a 1 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ and younger, weaker trees were used. This is what you buy from a typical lumber yard today.” The structural lumber which he sells is true to size, stronger and, sometime, even less expensive than what’s available at a building supply store.
Riley Rea, owner of Croft House furniture, stumbled across the Resource Conservation Group a year ago and immediately realized the potential for collaboration. Not only was the source of raw material for his designs readily available, it was also great deal more interesting than using new wood. “The wood we get from them is mostly old growth, so it’s not available any more other than as reclaimed,” says Rea. “It has nicer grain and it has history, it’s just beautiful to work with.”

Being able to purchase quality, reasonably-priced material locally is a large part of the reason that Crofthouse has grown from a 1,000 square foot workshop with 1 employee to a 4,000 square foot space (which they are outgrowing) and 8 employees a year later. As the business has grown, Rea has been hiring on a new full-time employee approximately every two months, and they all live close to the shop. Keeping it all as local as possible means that not only is Rea supporting a local economy, but he also is able to maintain control and oversight over every step of the process, resulting in a consistently high quality.

The Croft House workshop is located in downtown Los Angeles and buying from Stoutenburg means that transportation costs are low: both the wood and the recycled steel used for the furniture are locally available. Rea’s commitment to running a sustainable business is obvious: he uses recycled palettes from the Navy for shipping his finished furniture, and ships primarily by train. Almost every last inch of wood is used and even the scrap (what little there is) is kept in case smaller pieces are needed.

In the near future, both Stoutenburg and Rea are hoping to take advantage of this local collaboration to grow their businesses. Stoutenburg is currently looking for distributors to sell the reclaimed wood products in the downtown Los Angeles area, which would greatly benefit Croft House, among others. Rea is also planning to move to a larger workshop; he plans to stay in the downtown area, since his company benefits from being in the Enterprise Zone (part of the California Economic Development Incentive Program). All in all, keeping it local is paying off for these two companies!

Pardee Homes

LAS VEGAS, NV, September 03, 2010 / — Pardee Homes, long known as a leader in green building, just got a little greener. The company, which was recently named Green Building Corporate Advocate of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), has yet another green feather in its cap.

Rob Keune, a Pardee superintendent in Southern Nevada, has been designated a Certified Green Professional (CGP) as well as Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) by the NAHB. He joins Rocky Cochran, vice president of Pardee construction operations in Las Vegas, who has held the CGB designation for ten years.

According to the NAHB certification registry, Keune and Cochran are the only CGB designees in Nevada, and Keune is the only person in Nevada with both the CGB and CGP certifications.

CGP is an exclusive designation recognizing industry professionals who incorporate green building principles into homes using cost-effective and affordable options, according to the NAHB, while CGB identifies highly experienced builders who keep themselves informed and updated on all trends and techniques in home building.

“While Pardee Homes is proud of what Rob and Rocky have accomplished, the real winners are Pardee home owners who benefit from the education and experience that these two bring to their jobs every day,” said Klif Andrews, president of Pardee Homes Southern Nevada Division.

Keune and Cochran note that the Code of Ethics pledge for the designations, which includes “…to protect the consumer through the use of high quality materials and building practices backed by integrity and service,” is in line with Pardee’s pledge.

“It ties in well with continuing improvements in the Pardee home building and home buying processes,” said Cochran. “And it helps reinforce our internal strategy, which is to be an advocate for both the customer and the builder,” said Keune.

In Southern Nevada, Pardee currently offers “green” homes through its LivingSmart program at eight valley neighborhoods, including Rosetta and Serrano in Mountains Edge; Trail Ridge off of Durango and Blue Diamond/State Route 160; Ashwood in Nevada Trails; Montclaire in the Anthem area in Henderson; Riverstone in North Las Vegas; Solamar in the northwest valley and Solstice, which recently opened in Aliante.

The company’s pledge to build greener began with the pioneering of EnergyStar homes in 1998 and, today, that commitment delivers the multiple benefits of Pardee’s far more comprehensive–and award-winning–LivingSmart program, which debuted in Las Vegas at Vista Verde in 2003.

LivingSmart meets or exceeds local, state and national standards for green home building. It offers more than 30 included and optional green features, materials and systems that boost energy efficiency, save water, improve indoor air quality and encourage material conservation and the use of recycled or sustainable resources in new homes.

LivingSmart’s energy and water savings measures alone can translate to lower home operating costs, according to Joyce Mason, vice president of marketing for Pardee Homes. “We estimate our energy-efficient homes save more than 11 million pounds of greenhouse gases annually.”

To date, Pardee has built more than 10,000 energy-efficient homes in Southern California and Nevada, winning accolades from the NAHB Green Builder Awards; the PCBC Western conference Gold Nugget Awards; the EPA; and more.

One of the West’s largest and longest-established home builders, Pardee has built homes for more than 40,000 families in Southern Nevada since 1952. Pardee sales office hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday.

As a top provider of LED lighting, fluorescent light fixtures, tools, electrical supplies, DataComm products, test and measurement meters, safety products and HVAC products to commercial and industrial markets, Goodmart.com is committed to the highest quality products and the highest standards of customer service. A major part of that commitment also means offering customers cost-saving solutions that have the added benefit of saving the environment. Says Max Hoover (President), “As successful marketers and concerned environmentalists, we, at Goodmart.com, consider educating our customers energy saving LED lighting options such as LED bulbs, LED light fixtures and LED under cabinet task lighting, our corporate responsibility.”

Why LED Products?

“It used to be that LED products were the choice of only hard-core environmentalists and high-end designers. But today, everyone has gotten the message,” says Hoover. “LED products use nearly 80% less energy than incandescent lighting which translates into major savings for businesses and consumers.”

In fact, LED lights typically last ten times longer than incandescent lights. With LED lighting, maintenance costs are lowered merely from less frequent bulb changes. And while incandescent lights greatly contribute to higher power demands and emissions, LED lighting helps to significantly reduce greenhouse gases.

Additionally, LED lighting products are ideal for a wide range of applications such as task lighting under kitchen cabinets, holiday lighting, pendant lighting, recessed lighting, outdoor lighting, and even for retail displays.

Says Max Hoover, “LED lighting products leave businesses and consumers with much smaller energy bills, and leave the planet with a much smaller carbon footprint. Basically, it’s a win-win.”

Goodmart.com is owned and operated by Good Offices Technology Partners, LLC. The company sells good and services to commercial facility owners and operators. Their mission is to save their customers money as well as help their customers to preserve the environment.

For many years, liposuction has been a popular choice for women who want to target problem areas and achieve a slimmer, smoother and firmer appearance. However, the procedure is not without its drawbacks, posing health dangers to some and short-lived results for others. To combat many of the ‘cons’ of liposuction, Epione Medical Corporation, a state-of-the-art aesthetic surgery center, now offers OptiLipo, a revolutionary alternative to liposuction. The procedure may successfully flush fat, block the ability to store fat and achieve long-lasting results, among other benefits.

“At Epione, we offer the latest and most progressive technology and aesthetic procedures in order to help out clients achieve the results they want, and look and feel better than ever before,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director. “OptiLipo has quickly become the premier choice for women wanting to get rid of excess fat and cellulite without undergoing anesthesia or having to worry about future weight gain.”

During the OptiLipo procedure, problem areas are injected with microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, homeopathic, pharmaceutical agents and vitamins. The procedure targets fat reduction in desired areas, flushes the fat out and over the course of several sessions, blocks the body’s ability to store fat in those areas, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s ability to burn fat.

OptiLipo offers a number of benefits that liposuction does not:

- OptiLipo is non-surgical procedure that does not require anesthesia, posing far less health dangers than liposuction.
- OptiLipo achieves a smoother skin surface, and does not enhance preexisting cellulite, which often occurs with liposuction.
- No extensive medical evaluations or elaborate laboratory data is required prior to undergoing the OptiLipo procedure.

On average, based on the patient’s condition, results can be seen in two to three sessions. Some patients will see immediate results. Treatments are minimally invasive and recovery is immediate.

In addition to electing for OptiLipo as an alternative to liposuction, the treatment may also effective for aging skin, redundant or sagging skin, hand rejuvenation and neck rejuvenation.

“OptiLipo is one of the most popular procedures for women who want to reverse the signs of aging, regain a more youthful appearance and look fantastic in their clothes and swimwear,” said Dr. Ourian. “Schedule a consultation and let’s discuss how OptiLipo can help you get amazing results.”
