"Over the past six years, we have been able to save an average
of 625,000 gallons of water each year and with our newest xeriscape
expansion, we hope to conserve nearly a million gallons a year,"
said USANA Green Coordinator, Jeff
Robertson. "I'm glad to be a member of a company that takes
the well-being of the environment seriously and am honored to be
apart of USANA's green program."
In addition to xeriscaping its surrounding property, USANA has
reduced the amount of energy it uses each year by switching over to
motion-sensored lights and energy-conserving light bulbs,
offsetting 100 percent of the electricity used in its North America offices with renewable energy,
collected from windmills and onsite solar panels, and has reduced
its use of paper by nearly 50 percent by switching to electronic
paystubs.
USANA is an EPA WasteWise member, an EPA Green Power Partner,
and is one of 235 organizations to become founding members of the
Climate Registry. As a result of their efforts the company has
reduced emissions by more than one-third and has earned the title
of Clean Utah Partner.
