Project Planet

We are part of the solution >

The Mansion strives to have a long-lasting, positive influence on the world around us, the community we live in, the people we employ, and those who visit. To that end we invite employees and guests to come together for the common goal of protecting and preserving the planet.

We support the Global Soap Project! learn more

For 30 years we have engaged in sustainable practices that conserve natural resources and reduce our impact on the environment that include:

• being paperless wherever possible; optimizing printed matter for low ink usage; recycling ink/toner cartridges
• complying with state and local environmental laws
• compostable drink cups
  
• decreasing energy use (we are down 22% from last year)
• deploying reuse programs
• encouraging employees to telecommute
• focus on green dining
• ENERGY STAR appliances
• make and use our own organic soap
• not supplying hair dryers
• our own trash compactor to reduce non-recyclable landfill waste, courtesy of a grant from our city!
• using toilet paper made from paper (not from trees), unbleached and septic-safe
• unplugging "energy vampires" when not in use (learn more)

We hope you will join us in our quest to preserve and protect the environment.
