Awe Sum Organics granted Green Business Certification Award
It all started last April, when painstaking efforts were taken to make Awe Sum Organics one of the greenest offices in California. Some of the Awe Sum features of the new building include: LED Lighting, hi-tech Energy Management Systems for HVAC, big open skylights with lots of natural lighting, all Energy Star certified office equipment, occupancy sensors for infrequently used areas, dual-flush low-flow toilets and aerators, DIRTT walls that divert construction materials from landfills and are easily reconfigurable, carpet tiles that are 100% recyclable, Breathe Walls that produce rich fresh oxygen, and many other wonderful additions.
Since October, Awe Sum Organics has worked with Santa Cruz County to meet a number of requirements addressing issues such as pollution prevention, waste reduction, water conservation, and energy management. Awe Sum Organics has successfully implemented an in-depth waste program that includes office composting, e-waste recycling, purchasing post-consumer recycled (content) office supplies, and programs encouraging employees to reduce waste by bringing reusable containers for coffee/take out lunches.
Awe Sum Organics is currently working with Commute Solutions to develop a commuter program specifically designed to lower their carbon footprint by providing targeted solutions for their employees. Awe Sum Organics believes deeply in socially responsible business practices and has big plans for the future as they continue to redefine what it means to be a “green” business.
