As the 40th anniversary of Earth Day comes to a close, we here at NETexponent would like to formally announce our commitment to being a green company. We’re proud of the easy and effective ways in which we already walk the walk:
- Omitting use of small water bottles and water cooler bottles by installing a filtered water dispenser
- We recycle paper, plastic, cans, ink cartridges, batteries and old computer parts
- Purchasing low energy PC’s
- Use digital copies of documents whenever possible
- Everyone uses coffee mugs for beverages instead of disposable cups
- Support green clients like Audible and Cengagebrain
- Officewide use of Compact Florescent Lights
- NETexponent offers TransitChek as a benefit to support use of public transportation. No one drives to work!
And in 2010, we’re taking it a step further by
- Remembering to keep the windows closed when running the air conditioner
- Turning off the printed delivery confirmation on fax machines
- Being more conscious of proper recycling separation

Because we are always looking for ways to raise the bar, here’s a sampling of personal Earth Day pledges from NETexponent team members!
“My resolution is to bring lunch every day so I don’t have to throw away to-go containers and wrappers. And to get a plant for my desk!” – Erin
“Instead of throwing out my personal trash can each day, I am going to utilize the kitchen trash can instead!” – Erica
“My Earth Day resolution is to use less napkins!” - Valerie
“Mine is to do the recycling thing at home as well especially saving napkins and categorizing trash, it is more difficult to be self-disciplined at home than in the office!” - Wei
We’d love to hear how you and your company contributes to keeping a healthy Mother Earth. Leave us a comment!
