Summary

Started in November 2007, the team was assembled with the initial task of listing and showcasing all of the various ways we already recycle and save energy. KNI is a residential facility for individuals with developmental disabilities, and we have several residents whose job involves recycling, including newsprint, office paper, and aluminum. In addition to these jobs, there are a number of additional initiatives to recycle and save, including in our automotive shop, warehouse, and offices. KNI also has an "Oldies but Goodies" Thrift store where estate sales, yard sales and staff members donate items for sale/re-use by individuals living at KNI as well as for anyone looking for a bargain. Finally, the campus has gone through considerable upgrading of existing insulation, heating and cooling and water infrastructure, greatly reducing our energy and resource consumption. This is ongoing. In addition to generating the list of ongoing "green projects," to enhance awareness and participation, we will also be involving fellow employees on how to take our green habits further. With over 500 employees, KNI hopes that by using "green thinking" at work, we are also having a ripple effect that will carry over to before and after work as we all strive to live more sustainably on this planet.
