Hello,    
 
Happy Earth Day!  As we continue our sustainability efforts throughout Avanti, it is our hope and goal that you will embrace this program on an individual basis as well.  And what better excuse to start than earth day?

One good way for you to begin your personal effort is to visit the LIVE GREEN webpage at www.avantipress.com that explains our green initiatives.  This will help you learn more about how to take sustainability with you when you leave at the end of the day and put it into practice at home.  

We'd also like to share some 'Green Tips' Avanti style.  We are exploring the option of adding this movie to our public website in the near future.

Survey Says!
For those of you who completed our survey, thank you.  We had a great response and received a lot of valuable feedback.  Some of those results are shared below.

If you have not had a chance to complete the survey you still have that opportunity by clicking HERE.  It will only take a few minutes.  More results will be published in the next issue of BRIGHT IDEAS.

Save the Date: June 10th
As our survey revealed, participating in local initiatives ranks very high on the list for many of us.  On June 10th, all three Avanti offices will come together to help with a project on behalf of the Greening of Detroit.  We look forward to this opportunity to positively impact our environment on a local level.

 
Thanks for taking the time to participate in this initiative,
