Green Business
As a Green Business, We...

We consider the software industry, as a whole, a terrific opportunity
to reduce an overall carbon footprint, move towards energy self-
sufficiency and green operations.  Here's what we are doing to help
achieve these goals:

As a Green Business, we:

  • Installed solar panels for power generation
  • Recycle all possible materials, including:
  • Paper
  • Newspaper
  • Cardboard
  • Plastics
  • Printer cartridges
  • Old computers, printers and equipment
  • Cell phones and other electronics
  • Purchase recycled and post-consumer content paper
  • Reuse boxes and packaging materials for shipping
  • Use non-disposable dishes and flatware in our kitchen and
    break areas
  • Generate nearly zero physical collateral (nearly all collateral
    is delivered electronically)
  • Print double-sided for Workshop Binders and other materials
  • Minimize driving – we have a zero-commute ethic
  • Consciously turn off room lights when not in the room
  • Use CFL light-bulbs
  • Leave computers, printers and other devices off or in “sleep”
    modes when not in use
  • Heat or cool only specific parts of the building, when and as
    needed
  • Use low-flow toilets
  • Have natural, very low water-consumption ground cover
