ELLISON TRAVEL & TOURS

Ellison Travel & Tours is dedicated to supporting the fight against global warming and minimizing our overall footprint on the environment. Whether it be recycling paper, collecting plastics for recycling, commuting to work via carpooling or biking and video conferencing for the majority of our meetings, we are continually looking for new ways to "green" our work environment as part of our commitment to sustainable business. Outlined below is a list of the ways in which we have by incorporating "reduce, reuse & recycle" theme into each of our offices. You too can use some of these ideas in your home or office! We are smart about recycling. We look at what our company consumes and find ways to recycle, reduce and reuse. We recycle paper, bottles, cans etc. and purchase recycled, environmentally friendly, and sustainable business products, supplies, and paper whenever possible. When possible we refill computer ink cartridges rather than add them to the landfill. We also pride ourselves on our commitment to remove, refurbish and properly dispose of old office equipment and supplies. We continually review our energy use. We have completed an energy audit to analyze how we can cut energy use by increasing efficiency. We also turn off equipment when it's not being used. This can reduce the energy used by 25 percent; turning off the computers at the end of the day can save an additional 50 percent. We have replaced our refrigerators and will replace other appliances and office equipment in the future. Newer models use 40% less energy than those sold as recently as five years ago. We do not Use Polystyrene Coffee Cups. We provide mugs or employees bring their own to work.
