In 2011 MARS donated or sold, at a reduced cost, over seventy-five thousand dollars worth of electronics. These were primarily to schools in repressed economic areas or to non-profit organizations.
MARS also made financial donations to the Children’s Miracle Network, Habitat for Humanity, Christmas Charities and local school districts and churches to promote recycling and environmental awareness.
MARS works with our cities and counties to donate toys all year long, to make sure children will get presents at the Holidays.
Through our continued partnership with clients in the private and public sector we’ve been able to expand our Earth Day events both in number and in size. In 2010 we were involved in seven events and collected nearly 70,000 lbs. In 2011 we increased the events to 12 and collected over 150,000 lbs.
By providing labor and covering all freight costs, these events promote sustainability in the community and the workplace, while not costing our clients anything financially.
Continuing on our path to becoming paperless, we reduced the purchase of office paper products by twelve percent in 2011. This exceeded our goal of a ten percent reduction and is the second year in a row we’ve been able to achieve this goal.
Increased use of electronic scheduling, new paperless inventory tracking procedures, and tighter document control guidelines, all were major contributors towards this achievement. This also saw a direct correlation to office overhead, and resulted in the least amount spent to date in that area.
Our 2011 goal was to decrease electricity and water usage by ten percent at all three facilities. While some facilities were able to decrease usage, others saw an increase, leading to no significant loss or gain.
Our goal for 2012 will be to again decrease usage for both metrics and actively seek processes or equipment to achieve this goal. To that end we have begun talks with some of our clients concerning solar panels and other energy saving devices
