I believe in the concept of restoration as an environmental strategy. Not the dictionary definition of it; the return of something to its former, original or unimpaired condition or the restitution of something taken away or lost. That would lead to an anti-technology approach to environmental issues that is radical and ultimately ineffective. My idea of restoration has to do with finding balance. It would lead to a productive balance between industrial/technological/business needs and the urgency to reverse the erosion of the natural state of the earth. Much of the philosophy is simple, uncontroversial and easy to adapt like recycling, changing light bulbs, car-pooling and regulating thermostats. Some of it, for example, the notion of cap and trade is more complex and open to argument as to positive effects on the environment and negative effects on business.
I wanted to find something that RAZAR Technologies could do that would fall under the heading of the former. I wanted to find a cause or organization to invest in that would align with my idea of restoration and that we could introduce clients and partners to without controversy or argument. My due diligence led me to a partnership with the American Forests. They are an exceptionally run organization that maintains a very low overhead so that they can focus their resources on reforestation of deforested areas. With RAZAR’s emphasis on conservation of toner and office paper usage, American Forests, amongst many worthy organizations I investigated, became the obvious choice to join forces with.
Along with an annual donation to American Forest, RAZAR is initiating our own “Save the Forests” program. We pledge to plant trees in the name of our clients for every transaction done with RAZAR above two thousand dollars. This is a work in progress. We will work hand in hand with the American Forests and our clients to make it work better and smarter as it grows.
This is very exciting for me personally and only the beginning of what my company will do to bring about the stasis of restoration I believe in. I challenge all businesses to find the simple, uncontroversial ideas that can be introduced by your company. It is urgent, but not irreversible if we take concerted action.
