Cindi Landreth Home Design

• I will choose recycled office supplies and purchase from locally owned businesses, and encourage clients and colleagues to do the same.

• I will schedule appointments outside of the studio a maximum of three days/week.  Two days per week I will use alternative transportation.

• I will deepen my roots in my community and client relations rather than focusing on providing more services to more clients.
• I will volunteer my time to help provide the structures necessary to encourage people to identify and connect their values with their actions.

• I will encourage and provide sustainable building design principles and specifications to clients and colleagues.  This will include focus workshops to study and develop new ideas.I will provide a living wage for sub-contractors and employees.
