CELEBRATING EARTH Green Team Urges Everyone to Do Their Small Part to Make a Big Difference Celebrating Earth Day’s 50th Anniversary In the midst of social distancing and staying at home to slow the spread of COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to do our part to reduce, reuse, and recycle. In June of 2018, P1 Connection brought you a story about the recycling efforts of P1 Group and one of the program’s biggest champions, Manpower Coordinator Emily Barber. A lot has changed since then. P1 Group has continued to reduce our carbon footprint with initiatives to eliminate waste. And what better time than the 50th anniversary of Earth Day (April 22) to look at what we’ve done...and what we can still do. In addition to robust recycling efforts in all office spaces and the fabrication shop, P1 recently provided all associates with personalized tumblers to eliminate the use of Styrofoam and disposable drinkware. Additional “guest” mugs were purchased to extend this initiative to those visiting P1. In 2020, a new Green Team kicked off their official committee. Each person on the team is passionate about putting green efforts into practice, as well as educating others about how they can do the same. The new Green Team is currently six strong, but anyone who is interested is encouraged to join. The Green Team will be looking to get rid of even more one-time use disposable items, as well as placing more recycling bins and signage around our locations. Stay tuned throughout the year to learn more about how you can help P1 Group get greener. (continued)
“It’s nice to come together with other associates I may not normally interact with who have the same passion I do, and help share the right information with all P1 associates so we can continue to improve our efforts.” – Emily Barber
