Practices and Impacts
- Employees maintain 300 square feet of garden space using environmentally beneficial techniques such as avoiding pesticides and selecting native species. The project also limits the amount of turf grass mowed to reduce the amount of fossil fuels used and CO2 emitted. Monitoring takes place several times per year and consists of photographs of plants and pollinator species seen on-site.
