We worked with the University of Washington Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability Office (ESS) and a group of people from the University of Washington community to complete a Green Office Certification Program. The goal of this program was to encourage all employees at UW to make their workplace“green” as outlined through an online survey. Our job was to complete and implement this program so that workers could conduct a self-assessment of their office in order to conserve resources and reduce carbon emissions in their workplace.
