RECYCLED WASTE:
We recycle all scraps at a local school which contribute to planting several trees on the school grounds. (according to the awesome science teacher)
Manufacturing waste is also repurposed and reused in order to minimize our impact on the environment.
As a couple and as individuals, we are passionately committed to recycling.
We personally have reduced our own office paper use by 95% since 1998.
GIVING BACK:
Before we partnered with Feeding America to give 24,000 meals for the next 12 months, we use to buy a tree and have it planted for each client for a few years. Visit Archive.org to view our site then:
