9:56 am
you know, as a manufacturing organization, we're producing a lot of refuse. what are we gonna do about it? so, i just started small, just doing some baby steps along the way to get people involved. and what was so interesting to me was how passionate people were about this subject. and really what i ended up doing is igniting people to follow really something that was so important to them. and i let them really take the lead. and today you will see everything we've done has really been a culmination of really opening up that pathway for the employees to just say, "hey, what else you want to do? let's try it." for example, our cafeteria, you're going to have three bins, two compost bins, one recycle, and then a small garbage refuse landfill. but you'll see that there's a pollinator pathway, which means there's really -- this is a facility that's been put together, in terms of its planting, to help the bees.

we put in a community garden. we have almost 400 pounds out of that community garden of fruits and vegetables that go to the local food bank. every year i get one tomato they give me out of the garden every year. it's the cutest thing ever. i'm like, "that's it?" but that's all i would ever want because i just love that all of those fruits and vegetables are going to the local food bank. >> tell me a little bit about being a certified b corporation. >> i was reading about a b corp -- i don't know -- maybe six years ago, and i really liked what i read. and i had no intention for us to become a b corp. i say we try to run our organization by people, product, and profit. and i think that -- you know, everything we're doing in the world of sustainability, it really just fits in with that whole mantra of making sure that we're taking care of our people. and the people means the community, and the b corp means we're looking at the whole community. so, it all to me just goes hand in hand and works together. >> i think what we should do now is go see some of these areas you discussed. >> i am so excited to show you some of this stuff because it's great that we get to chat, but now you get to see
9:58 am
all the good work that everyone has done at this company. there's actually a lot right here in this one row. so, really, it starts with the fact that we now only use silverware. before, we were using compost silverware, but at the same time it still has to be composted. so, we have now reversed that. we userwe. e cstaed a sink. you can see that for the mayonnaise, the ketchup, the mustard, the sugar packet. we don't want anything to be discarded that doesn't have to be discarded. >> got it. >> we have almost 900 solar panels up here. we installed these years ago. we're the number-one facility in the state with the most solar panels, and i'm proud to say we're not anymore because so many other companies are doing this. so, we get almost 20% of our energy from these solar panels. we got a bunch of different tomatoes, and, you know, i am allowed one a year. so, if you want, i can take my tomato now. >> oh, i don't want to be a part of that. >> oh, look, look, look. what do you think? ooh. oh! >> it fell off. >> it fell in my hand. it's my tomato now! i can't wait to eat it. this is the beginning

of the pollinator pathway, and this has been designed so the bees have a pathway and the butterflies have a place they can come to do their thing, be safe, and do what bees do. >> what a great behind-the-scenes tour. is there anything else you want to share with us before we get out of your hair here on what bigelow tea is doing as far as their sustainability initiatives and efforts? >> no, i guess i just really want to thank you because you highlight all the work that we're doing that we're very, very proud of. and, to me, i look at it as two ways -- people can understand all the good work we're doing, but also other companies who maybe don't know how to go into this world of sustainability can watch this and say, "hey, i can do that." so, that'd be a wonderful result of getting an opportunity to spend time with you and showing all the fun stuff we're doing. >> well, the pleasure was all of ours. thank you again. thank you for watching. to learn more about bigelow tea and their sustainability initiatives and efforts, visit bigelowtea.com and follow them on all of your favorite social-media platforms. we'll see you next time. >> the preceding advertisement
