Hello,
It's Earth Day, and Avanti is celebrating the 40th anniversary of this event with daily contests, films and educational messages. We're also issuing a company-wide challenge today to reinforce our focus on sustainability all year long! |

Avanti's THOUSAND POUND PAPER CHALLENGE
We have an opportunity as a company to make a real and measurable reduction to our environmental impact. As a company in 2009, we used 204 lbs of office copy paper, enough to almost completely fill our creative/production office wing in downtown Detroit!
This picture shows about 1/4 of the paper used by Avanti in 2009 |
In 2010, our company goal is to reduce copy paper by another 10% or 21 cases. That is equal to 1,000 lbs of paper.
How will we do it? The Sustainability Committee will focus on tips, tricks and reminders to help us achieve our goal, but really it comes down to you. Stop using so much paper! By bringing focus and attention to your work habits, avoiding unnecessary printing, and scanning and e-mailing instead of faxing, you can make our reduction a reality. Updates will be provided throughout the year as we seek to REDUCE just as much as we recycle! |
Earth Week Events
Jeannie Sorrell swaps her old bulbs for some new CFLs. |
Every time you picked up the phone this week, it seemed like a new sustainability message was playing. Fact-based posters were everywhere in the office. Films played daily, and we also took advantage of the great light bulb swap and won prizes for testing our sustainability knowledge.
