Phoenix Building Solutions claimed in November of 2008 to build environmentally friendly homes to LEED standards, and this maybe true that their homes do in-fact meet LEED qualifying checklist, but they are far from environmentally friendly in way they dispose of their trash. The above photos were taken on drive-by of their Office facility in late December 2008, and one can notice the visible trash and overflowing dumpster. When examining the photos we can clearly see that there are open trash bags and liter on ground. This is evidence that animals have torn open the bags and they have been in position for some time. This dumpster is visible for anyone drive-by their office from Albert Road. On recent drive-by after the corporation suspended operations, we noticed that the dumpster had been emptied, and all the liter and trash had been removed of from site. Was owners of company afraid someone would find out that company was not as environmentally friendly as they claimed? We noticed from drive-by's that excessive amount of debris, trash, and liter was being dumped behind their manufacturing facility. Unfortunately we have been unable to obtain photographs of this, but a anyone can see this from Albert Road as well. If company was an environmentally friendly corporation they would dispose of their waste in timely matter and in an environmentally friendly way. We don't contest that their homes produced may not have used environmentally friendly or "Green" products in the production of their homes, but obviously the corporation itself does not care about the environment. The company seemed to be just jumping on the "Green" and "LEED" trend trying to make a dollar. Before you get lured into buying or building any home from company that claims to be "Green" make sure the entire company is "Green" and not just their product.
