Take the Green Pledge

A person does NOT need to pledge to all of the items. Each person can pick and choose whatever items fit best with what they can do. The most important thing is start to do something.

Name
Email address
Department

If you can get 100% of your office or department to make the pledge then your office or department will be considered officially green. Once 100% of the department has made the pledge, the department manager needs to send Steve Hoselton, Director of Physical Resources, an e-mail who will then send out the appropriate certification letter.
