Green friendly Franklin Martial Arts
Did you know that Franklin Martial Arts generates its own electric power? That's right! You can hardly notice the solar panels from below, but they are clearly visible on Google Maps. We love our solar panels! We produce all the electricity we need, and then some. So next time you find yourself enjoying our well lit training floors, remember that it's all clean energy.
This means Franklin Martial Arts is offsetting our environmental footprint, and by supporting clean energy businesses like us, you are contributing to a cleaner environment too. Since they were installed in 2014, the solar panels have generated about 20 gigawatt hours of energy per year. That's probably enough for two or three nice houses.
Reduction of environmental footprint per year:
- 11 tons of carbon dioxide [Co2] emissions avoided
- 1,674 gallons of gas offset
- 3,790,600 lights bulbs for one hour
- 7,581,200 AA batteries powered
- 790 electric cars charged
- 3,506,305 smart phone charges
- 4,308 electric washer and dryer loads
The Franklin Martial Arts staff is very proud of these facts, and we are glad to be local pioneers in the Bellingham, Franklin, Milford area as far as clean energy businesses go.
FMA, leading the way.
Having never set foot in a martial arts building, and knowing nothing about any of the arts, I was apprehensive about enrolling in a class. All fears were set aside after the first boxing class. Everyone was so welcoming that by the second class, staff and students alike felt like long-time friends. Loved it so much I enrolled in not just boxing, but also Jiu Jitsu. The staff is highly knowledgeable, personable, accommodating, and fully committed to your success. The facility is clean and well equipped for a variety of classes.
