 Actually, we’ve been going green for quite some time now. In an effort to reduce waste and conserve energy we have done the following:

  • Expanded our recycling program which now includes all paper, bottles, cans, fluorescent bulbs, office equipment
  • Converted all cleaning and paper products to certified green products. These products do not harm the environment and are made from renewable/recycled sources
  • Installed equipment to help reduce energy and water consumption
