SUSTAINABILITY
At
VID-SMITH,
we make it a priority
to employ sustainable business practices and strive
to limit our negative impact on the planet as much
as possible.
We are a Sustaining
Member of Sustainable
Connections. SC is a nationally
recognized local business network working to
transform and model an economy based on the
sustainable business practices of Strong
Community, Healthy Environment, and Meaningful
Employment. We source from local vendors
whenever possible
We are enrolled in
Puget Sound Energy's Green Power
program, paying extra to purchase a
portion of our energy from renewable sources
such as solar, wind, and methane recovered from
local dairy cows (really!)
We participate in
the Smart Trips
program, an ongoing partnership
between local government, public agencies,
employers and schools to reduce carbon emissions
by promoting transportation by walking,
bicycling, sharing rides and riding the
bus.
We have taken the
Whatcom County Watershed Pledge
to help prevent
pollution to our watershed through recycling,
waste prevention, and good housekeeping
practices, drainage and landscape
maintenance.
