Our company has long been committed to green business practices, and in recognition of our efforts, Solutions (as part of Norm Thompson Outfitters) received an award for Excellence in Waste Prevention, Recycling and Environmental Purchasing on Earth Day 2010. We now join an elite group of Portland-area businesses who have been recognized for their progressive recycling efforts.

In celebration of Earth Day’s 40th anniversary, our company’s “Green Team” (made up of employee volunteers) put together an informational event designed to help our staff better understand what and where to recycle while at work and at home. A full layout of the cleaning products used in our building and of what objects can and can’t be recycled was displayed for employees to see.

In addition to enjoying an array of eco-friendly refreshments, each employee received a cloth shopping bag containing a live, Pacific Crabapple sapling.
