DOWN TO EARTH is Townline's environmental responsibility program. Wherever possible, we are endeavouring to minimize waste and reduce our overall environmental impact. While there are many little things we do to help make a difference, here are the highlights for your home at 1241 Homer.

  • Construction Process - a jobsite has the potential to be an environmental issue if not managed properly. To minimize the impact of the construction process we are maximizing recycling opportunities by separating and recycling drywall, paint, cardboard, and other building materials.
  • Building Materials - wherever possible, we have sourced the sustainable option for materials while selecting the finest quality of materials available. We've identified these more sustainable options on your features list.

In the Kitchen

  • Recycling Bins - With recycling becoming not just the right thing to do, but legislated in many parts, finding a place to store your recyclable materials can present a challenge. So, we've built in pull-out recycling bins under kitchen sinks to help make it easier.
  • No garburators - in many parts of the world, in-sink disposals are illegal. They have nasty environmental consequences. So, every time you compost instead of adding nutrients to the sewage system you will be making a positive environmental contribution.
  • Cabinets - our cabinets' wood veneer is made exclusively of wood from managed forests and manufactured using only environmentally sound principles.
  • Quartzite CeasarStone countertops - first quartz surface company in the world to carry the ISO 14001 environmental standard that recognizes a commitment to environmental sustainability. This means totally inert products that prevent the spread of toxins and require almost no detergents.
  • Engineered Birch hardwood floor - our supplier purchases only wood and wood products that are harvested from managed forests (Forestry Stewardship Council) and installs without glue. There is little or no off-gassing which means you breathe easier in your new home.
