When throwing away empty cans in the trash can next to the vending machine in the office, we collect the pull tabs separately, donate them to welfare facilities at the end of each half period and convert them into cash for office supplies. Such information was provided to employees through news also as part of the monthly events, to collect a lot of pull tabs that are thrown away at home. As a result, 12 kg of approx. 30,000 pull tabs were collected in the half period. People involved in welfare facilities were very much pleased with the donation we made.

The forest is comprised of 36.5 acres with potential to work in sustainable water resources, promote ecosystem conservation and biodiversity. Even though this forest is declared a protected area it is not without pollution caused by some neighbors and illegal dumping.
One of the main problems facing the forest is burning, creating the need for reforestation in times of rain. The roots of burned trees can be checked to see if they can be rescued by application of compost and drip hydration techniques.
The first visit to the forest was to know its features and to educate and create awareness in the community about the problems caused by its loss. This includes: climate change, loss of animal species, loss of rivers and springs. In the weeks after May 16th, the TGCS Mexico community is helping in watering trees and the planting campaign when rainy season starts.

1. We have programmed a lighting schedule. Lights are turned on at the beginning of the day. During lunch 30% of the lights are turned off. By close of business the lights are turned off. We are also monitoring weather to optimize use of the air conditioner.
2. We created a committee to check If employees turned off all equipment they didn’t need. If they had equipment left on we left a message asking to turn it off or to leave a note if it needs to be on. Since starting this action we reduced energy use 22% monthly. Audits were reduced to 3 days a week.
3. Taking advantage of a control to track printer usage, we came up with “Top Ten User List”. The list is sent to managers monthly, who review with employees what was printed and help them try to reduce. In addition we are using lockers next to printers to put paper, folders and envelopes that can be re-used.
