Everywhere you look these days people are discussing the environment. Developers, builders and architects are working towards a “greener” future by building environmentally-friendly buildings.

We are looking out for our future, but are we looking at our present? One company is, Calgary-based home builder, Stepper Custom Homes Inc announced July 23, 2008 they will partner with Outland Reforestation to replace some of the trees they will take from the earth in 2008.

Dave Hooge, General Manager of Stepper told the CNW Group,

“Approximately 15 trees go into every home we build, by planting 4000 Lodgepole Pines, we are replacing every tree we will use to build homes in 2008.”

The trees will be planted in an area just west of Sundre, Alberta, on a site that was previously used as a natural gas well.
