Why we're Green
To conserve water, aerators were added to bathroom and kitchen sinks and a dual flush toilet was installed. The shop focused on behavioral changes to save energy by changing thermostat setpoints and taking care to shut the lights off when leaving the room. The TPS offices cut waste by purchasing 100% recycled paper. These are just a few highlights reflecting the leadership efforts of TPS as a Green Business and champion of sustainability.
