Gone Green

Putting our money where our mouth is

Okay, okay. We talk a good game, but what are we, Greenfield/Belser, doing about this green thing? For starters:

We're buying carbon offsets from nativeenergy.com who uses the money to provide clean, environmentally conscious energy alternatives.

We are replacing all our lighting with fluorescents as part of a refurbishing of our office space over the next few months.

We not only support the D.C. Metro system’s Smart Benefits program, we offer a 10% discount for every $50 spent.

We’ve eliminated paper goods and plastic utensils in our office kitchen, and we’ve started using environmentally friendly detergent and soap and recycled paper towels and napkins.

Our office paper is all recycled. We’re implementing an office magazine swap to cut down on the number of copies of OK! floating around in the world.

In addition to our fulltime recycling programs, we’re collecting designated special items for each month of 2008.

Our new Annual Review is completely green. Printed by Mosaic Printing, a dedicated carbon-neutral shop, the paper is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and the inks used will be soy-based.

And there’s something special for our clients. They’ll soon be receiving an energy saving grocery tote that will help them avoid adding plastic grocery bags to the landfills.

Now, it’s your turn.
