SUPPORT YOUTH PROGRAMS BTJ's founders will support the important work of the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Ana to ensure that Santa Ana's upcoming generations have the tools and support they need to lead fulfilling, successful lives. BTJ's founders and/or workforce commit to providing at least 50 hours of volunteer service with the Boys and Girls Club and provide quarterly contributions. We will work with the Club to determine how we can best support their needs including tutoring, mentoring, coaching, and/or just providing a friendly helping hand. Additionally, BTJ Ventures will donate each year to the Northeast Santa Ana Little League (NESALL). Baseball is a great way to develop athletic skills, teamwork, get exercise, sunshine and fresh air, and have lots of fun. Who knows, maybe we will help find the next major league player from Santa Ana joining Lenny Dykstra, Mitch Williams, Ben Francisco, Danny Espinosa and others on that illustrious list. ADDING TO THE TAX BASE BTJ is working to develop a successful manufacturing operation that will generate significant tax revenue for Santa Ana. We have made major improvements to a commercial space that has been unproductive for a number of years. While paying taxes is not anyone's favorite thing to do, we are pleased that our success can help support Santa Ana's growth and renewal. SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES PLAN BTJ seeks ways to reduce our impact on the environment in all of our business decisions and in the design and build out of our manufacturing operation. CLEANEST FORM OF CANNABIS PROCESSING While most cannabis extraction operations employ heavy petrochemicals like butane or propane, BTJ uses nothing harsher than water and ice in creating our products. That substantially reduces the amount of carbon -based chemicals that has to be produced and disposed of. Additionally, it avoids the storage of volatile and hazardous materials. ENERGY EFFICIENT COLD ROOM Many steps in BTJ's manufacturing process must be done in cold conditions — about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. BTJ installed a prefabricated "Cool Bot" cold room that requires far less energy to reach and maintain these cold temperatures. This solution requires 40% less energy use than a traditional walk-in cooler. LED LIGHTING BTJ has swapped out all existing fluorescent and incandescent lights for energy -efficient, longer lasting LED lights cutting energy use for lighting in half and, by using longer laster bulbs, decreases the amount of industrial waste. WATER & ENERGY EFFICIENT, ADA-COMPLIANT BATHROOMS Both bathrooms have been retrofitted with motion sensor/timed lights to reduce energy. Old style toilets were replaced with low flow/hi efficiency models. Sinks are low -flow versions to save additional water. Both bathrooms have been upgraded at BTJ's expense to be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act to enable us to accomodate the widest hiring pool. 10
