that only safe and tested cannabis is distributed to guests, is by only allowing regulated <br />dispensaries to operate. We will contribute funds and provide support to these efforts <br />spearheaded by the City. <br />Public Safety <br />The legalization of cannabis has raised many issues where public safety is concerned. <br />Communities fear that cannabis products will end up in the hands of children. We heavily focus <br />on prevention. From advanced security measures, to utilizing proper and legal packaging, to <br />developing business practices geared to appeal only to adults, we push the importance of public <br />safety in each of our business decisions. We will rely on the City to provide information as to their <br />specific needs in increasing public safety, and eagerly seeks to partner with the City in our efforts. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES <br />Protecting Our Environment <br />The City is conscious of new businesses and the impact new businesses have on the <br />environment, the surrounding communities, conservation, development and use of natural <br />resources, and the open space areas that are important for residents' views and recreation. We <br />will fully implement recycling practices companywide along with promoting the message to our <br />guests to encourage sustainability. We are committed to looking for new and innovative ideas to <br />reduce our carbon footprint and to operate in a way that protects our environment and addresses <br />community concerns. <br />Climate Control System <br />Climate control systems account for a large percentage of the total energy consumed in a <br />cannabis business. In designing our climate control system, we will consult with a mechanical <br />engineer to devise the most energy efficient system possible taking into account: <br />1, indoor air quality; <br />2, odor control; <br />3. energy consumption; <br />4, greenhouse gas emissions; <br />5. regulatory compliance; and <br />6. climate. <br />Should carbon emissions be a concern, we will employ additional procedures to offset any carbon <br />emission. <br />Efficient Heating and Cooling <br />We will use a closed room environment to minimize our electricity costs. A closed room <br />environment does not exchange air with the outside of the building and limits the electricity <br />associated with the cooling of external air. In addition to the cost and energy -savings, closed room <br />environments present the added benefit of decreased odor presence surrounding the premises. <br />We will regularly maintain our climate control and HVAC systems to ensure continuously efficient <br />operations and to reduce energy consumption and energy costs. Maintenance will include <br />
