1st April, 2008: Earth Day Celebrations
We were recently contacted by the city of Fairfield to participate in their town’s Earth Day Celebration. The town is trying to build the event so more people are exposed to what each and everyone can do to help make the environment better. Recently we passed around the book “Stirring It Up” which talked about several companies and what they have been doing to make their companies environmentally friendly. Being able to see what other companies are doing has helped us set higher and higher expectations and look for ways we can make more of an impact.
As we have taken many steps in the company to be as “green” as possible some of the side benefits have been in our “away from work lives.” For example, the company had an outside firm come in and offer compact florescent light bulbs for sale at a discount. Most employees took the opportunity to at least buy one. The other day one employee told me they were so impressed that they went out and replaced all their old light bulbs with the compact florescent bulbs. Now they are seeing their electric bills being $30 per month lower, needless to say they are very happy. The Earth Day celebration is another opportunity to expose people to practices and actions we have taken as a company and as individuals. One by one people are making a positive impact on the environment and are raising the bar for all to follow.
