Message from our most recent certified nonprofit:

The green certification process really integrated every part of our office and the way we work, thus it really took a team effort in order to achieve each requirement. Each initiative we completed brought a greater awareness to the entire staff of the waste that we produce both at work and at home, which I believe is a very important aspect of our efforts to "green" our organization. I hope that what we learned as an office throughout this process will be translated into each of our home lives as well. Being environmentally-conscious is a true passion of mine at home, and I was thrilled to be able to bring these efforts into the office.

Dianne Peach provided a great resource and tremendous assistance throughout the application process, and she really helped move our certification process in the right direction. Now that we are certified, we will continue to be conscious of Earth and its precious resources as a staff while we continue to implement the initiatives that we have completed in this process.
