Whether it's BBQ season, pizza or a potluck - we love us some company lunches here at 
Ibex. Lately the "on the green" team has been researching alternate options to disposable plates, utensils and the like - and we're happy to say we've placed an order for some biodegradable plates, utensils and cups! Going forward our company lunches will be much more green - in addition to the awesome greenery for salads from our veggie garden.
Ibex moved from the traditional office “water cooler” to a new water filter for our tap. In an effort to reduce our footprint, as well as our electricity bill, we had a water filter from Aquasana installed in the company kitchen. By installing this filter we are able to cut out the transportation and production of the water bottles out of our carbon footprint, cut down our electricity bill and by doing away with the water jugs alone we will save about $1500/year in water costs. So no more water cooler chatter, but instead we can meet by the tap, outdoors at the picnic table or even meet up for a chat and weeding session in the veggie garden.
The season has begun, we planted our seeds and seedlings today!
Thanks to Whit and the On the Green Committee for organizing, weeding and mapping out the garden! Can't wait for some fresh veggies!
Check back in, we'll keep you posted with pictures and updates as the season progresses.
