Conservation
As employees, the TRC crew carpooled to work over 2/3 of the last three months, thereby reducing their carbon footprint. They have always used the Web as the main mode of advertising specials and events, conserving paper. When they do advertise on paper, they have used both sides of paper to use less paper to say more.
In December, they switched cleaning systems which uses less plastic, and uses more biodegradable products. Also, they switched the paper towel dispensers to reduce paper waste. In December, we recycled 29 bags of plastic, paper, and cans, and over 40 boxes.
In January, they started recycling Styrofoam, glass, and magazines as well. They continue building up the Green Board which includes articles about ways to conserve in every day life, as they utilize in business as well. In January, they are also switching to the Keurig Brewing system which allows them to brew coffee cup to cup, thereby reducing waste.
