In addition, we support a host of local charities through gifts of auction items. In 2008 these gifts totaled $8,000. Check back soon for a list of supported charities.

Green
Living on Earth would be pretty much of a drag without clean water, clean air, nice weather and a diverse ecosystem to keep us alive and healthy. As it turns out, we are a species that is powerful enough to screw these things up. But, I think there's a chance that we're smart enough not to. As a business we have a bigger footprint than your average joe, which means we have additional responsibility to make sure that footprint is as small and sustainable as possible.

We live up to this responsibility in a variety of ways, including recycling, using renewable and recyclable packaging, and offsetting our carbon output. I'll have more details here soon, but in the meantime I wrote a bit about this on our blog recently.
