# Every Little Bit Helps...

**We're the first to admit that skydiving is hardly a "green" activity, however, we are doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint in meaningful ways. **

**We've adopted a "greener" approach to conducting business with the following efforts:**

- Transitioned from twin-engine aircraft to Cessna C-208 Caravans to consume 30% less fuel per passenger
- Smart thermostats throughout 20,000 square foot facility
- Transitioned to LED lighting (interior, exterior, and parking lot)
- Motion sensors so that lighting is only used when needed
- Our President and the Director of Operations drive electric vehicles

Doing our part to help the planet has always been a key initiative for CSC. It has taken many years and millions of dollars to get to this point.
