Sustainability Highlight of the Week

Green Office Certification

Lane's Green Office Certification Program is a new tool for departments and divisions to use to improve sustainable practices and to receive rewards for practices they are already doing!  The Sustainability Committee developed this program with the thought that small actions taken by many different departments can make big positive impacts.  Participating is easy and fun.

LANE TAKES BACK THE TAP
February 19, 2013
Of over 50 billion disposable water bottles produced in the U.S. annually, only 17% are recycled.  The rest end up in our ever growing landfills and polluting our land, air, and waters.  Bottled water use contributes to the estimated three million tons of plastic debris floating on the sea surface in the North Pacific Ocean and is responsible for over 2.5 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.  To find a map of locations where you can fill up your own water bottle at Lane and for more information on "Taking Back the Tap," click here.
