Our Green Initiative
At Old Creek Wall Bed Factory, we're a very green minded company. We care - really! Business isn't only about maximizing profit but rather creating a beneficial environment for our customers, employees, community and the environment. Here are some of the actions we're taking to be a better environmental neighbor.
Green and Sustainable Energy.
At Old Creek Wall Bed Factory, use 100% Green and Sustainable Energy. It might cost a bit more, but to us, it's worth every penny.
For our efforts we have been awarded the Pacific Power Environmental Stewardship Award.
We encourage our employees to ride bikes to work.
Bikes are a great way to get around and we encourage all of our employees to ride their bikes as much as possible. Currently, we are proud to say that all of our employees bring their bikes to work; over half of them ride to work! Even the President of Old Creek Wall Bed Factory can be spotted biking around town going to the bank and post office.
We recycle everything we can!
Sure do. Every desk has a garbage bin and a recycle bin to make recycling quick and easy. We recycle everything from paper and envelopes to tin cans and plastic jugs. But recycling isn't everything; we also reduce our paper usage by utilizing both sides of a sheet of paper and by using email and online forms as much as possible.
We reuse every computer cycle.
Being a bricks-and-click Internet Company, we have a lot of computers in our offices. While computers inherently consume lots of electricity, we make sure what they use never goes to waste. By participating in distributed computing project called Folding@Home, we make sure that any spare computing power that we're not using is contributed to Stanford for their quest to understand all the proteins that comprise our bodies. Pretty cool!
