Subject: Going even Greener

As everyone knows I attended the going even greener conference last week hosted by Whole Foods Market. We learned about even better ways to go green and help our environment. The conference was held in Austin, Texas in their beautiful Texas headquarters. This headquarters was larger than probably all of our headquarters combined. I learned some new ways to help our company to go greener.

__** Composting: **__ Was the first thing we learned about at the meeting. Composting is when your taking food scrapes or wet cardboard or paper and turning them into fertilize material. With all the lunch rooms we have in all of our buildings we can take real advantage of this idea.

**__Bailing:__** This is when we are taking dry cardboard or paper and putting it in a bailer to create a bail that is wrapped with wiring to hold together. This is then sold to companies to recycle the material to create new materials. This can be beneficial to us because not only does it recycle but it creates a profit.

These two methods of helping the environment were the two methods I found most beneficial to our company and what we stand for. I think we can change the way we do things and not only help us but help our environment. I thanked Whole Foods for this great opportunity to change the way we do things and make the world a better place.
