threatens the places we care about most deeply. We also understand that climate change threatens the farming systems we depend on to grow our food.
- Reported and verified our carbon emissions with the California Climate Action Registry since 2004.
- Switched our office fleet and field marketing trucks to biodiesel fuel.
- Offer a Cool Commute program that supports employees who leave their cars at home and walk, bike, or take public transportation.
- Offset energy use from our office, bakeries, and business travel by helping to build new wind turbines that benefit both the environment and communities-in-need.
- In partnership with NativeEnergy, we helped to build the first school district-owned wind turbine (Wray, CO); the first large-scale Native American-owned wind turbine (St. Francis, South Dakota); and the Greensburg Wind Farm in Kansas (95% of Greensburg was destroyed in 2007 by a tornado and they’re rebuilding green).
- In 2007 we offset our historic emissions dating back to the company’s start in 1992.
- Helping our employees make their own homes more energy efficient with the Cool Home program.
- Inviting people of all ages to fight climate change with
their bikes on the 2 Mile Challenge.
