 | Using recycled materials
reason Reporter Big Sky Office uses reusable toner cartridges, which are recycled cartridges that have been taken apart, cleaned and put back together to make a new cartridge. We also use recycled paper in our printers and copiers. |
 | Using sustainably produced material
reason In our annual catalog we use paper that is FSC (Forest Stewardship Certified). |
 | Little or no packaging used
reason Our delivery drivers re-use the boxes that are used to deliver supplies to our customers. They re-use the boxes as much as they can and when they can no longer use the boxes, the boxes are recylced. |
 | Conserving energy
reason At Reporter Big Sky Office our employees are encouraged to turn off their electronics when they leave for the night. Many employees either shut down their computer or put them in hibernation mode during their lunch break. We also try to turn off the lights when we are not in a room. |
 | Reducing waste
reason We encourage employees to bring their own coffee cups to reduce the use of Styrofoam and plastic cups. We use compatable ink cartridges and then recycle the empty cartridges to reduce the amount of cartridges that are thrown into the garbage. We recycle paper, aluminum cans, cardboard and old catalogs. |
