Woodbine's Green Direction

When I began at Woodbine close to three months ago I was surprised the company actually practiced what the preached. Many companies position themselves as "green", but the staff don't actually follow the corporate vision.

The administrative and staff offices use actual china coffee mugs, glasses for water from a dispenser, and recycling for many products. Light switches have been installed in most offices that turn the lights off if they have not detected movement within a period of 30 minutes. And staff select task lighting at their desks rather than massive overhead florescent lights.

Woodbine certainly takes "green" to the next level.
