Quantum House has gone green thanks to National Recycling Services and the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott.
Quantum House has been making a conscious effort to become more environmentally friendly for the past two years. The House has paid special attention during a recent remodel using no VOC paint, off-gassed carpet, and energy efficient lighting, thermostats and appliances. A volunteer crew of master gardeners have even worked to create an amazing butterfly garden in the back yard using recycled mulch and donated plants. The staff felt that these changes were necessary for a healthier environment for Quantum House families and for long-term cost savings. The one environmentally-friendly aspect that the House was not able to implement on its own was a recycling program. The extra cost of recycling is not built into the organizations tight budget.
