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