XMA Headquarters Goes GREEN

XMA GO GREEN Efforts











An Interview with Mr. Mike & Mrs. McKenzie Chat:

ATAg: What is the Green Focus of XMA Headquarters?

Chats: It is our goal to have a "NO WASTE FACILITY" For example: We do not allow themed party plates, cups utensils, etc. We provide re-usable dishware and utensils for all events and parties.

ATAg: Do you provide recycling in site?

Chats: Yes we have Recycling Bins next to each trash can, although members are required to bring water bottles. Staff are not allowed to drink bottled water. We also provide a Filtered Water System for refills.

ATAg: You have one of the most "high tech" facilities in the industry what are have your efforts been to keep balance with technology?

Chats: Each of our computers were selected specifically with that in mind. We use Apple Energy Efficient Computers, Dell Energy Smart Enabled Computer Systems & Printers. All of our Lighting except theatrical lighting is energy efficient.

ATAg: I noticed your washrooms are a bit different than the average Gym or Martial arts school and are more like a high end hotel or restaurant.

Chats: We utilize Cotton Hand Towels instead of Paper Towels as well as all of our appliances are Energy Savers including a Energy Saving Washer & Dryer

ATAg: Any advice you can give school owners and instructors on having on going green?

Chats: Recycling is not the answer, try to reduce the number of items that you use and in turn reduce the amount you recycle. It is hard for people to change their habits but if the instructors are committed to their responsibility as role models than we can affect change in the community.
