Sustainability: 1000 Trees and Growing
Back in January of this year, we announced that Cumulus Global was expanding its sustainability program. To help offset the carbon footprint of our offices and operations, we have strengthened our partnership with Evertreen and are committed to planting 100 trees per month.
Our forest has grown to over 1,000 trees across 7 countries and 3 continents.
Over the next 30 years, the trees we have planted to date will remove over 300 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. That is the equivalent of driving an average American car 750,000 miles. As we continue to plant, the amount of CO2 our forest cleans will continue to grow.
In addition to the climate benefits, our forest is producing food, reducing soil erosion, protecting watersheds, and providing local jobs.
As an IT firm, planting trees to offset our carbon footprint is part of an overall commitment to sustainability that includes using 100% renewable energy, reuse, and recycling.
We Can Help You Do More
One of the best ways to improve sustainability is to recycle electronic waste (e-waste). E-waste recycling has challenges, including but not limited to, finding reputable recyclers and cost.
Our Basic and Business Managed Cloud Services include lifecycle management for your computer with unlimited, no-cost, e-waste recycling.
For a small number of items, we provide a prepaid label. Just box up the items and drop them off at your local post office. If you are looking to clear the shelves or empty the closet of e-waste, we can have a recycling team show up to box, label, and ship everything for you. All for free!
As an added bonus, our IT asset disposal partners partner with Veritree to plant trees with every recycling order.
