Going green is woven into our core principles, from our office recycling station to reusables in our kitchen and conscious purchases for recycled content. We even compost food scraps that are brought into the office from our employees. Being certified means that we are sourcing non-toxic cleaning supplies, practice energy-saving techniques like keeping the lights off in rooms that are not in use, reducing our waste through a successful recycling program, minimally using water, purchasing recycled content materials like paper, preventing pollution through proper disposal, and avoiding waste by using scrap paper for internal printing and composting food scraps. We encourage all offices to go green by trying some of these techniques and more, or you can also become certified through the California Green Business Network – Monterey Bay.
