<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#4D4D4D">We’ve made good strides in sustainability in DAS and across state government. But rest assured, sustainability is not going away, rather it’s progressing, and there’s much more work
to do. We’re all responsible for adjusting the compass towards a brighter future for all. We need your ideas to create an equitable, sustainable future.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#444444"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

You now have the opportunity to share your ideas about sustainability. An example idea is installing compost buckets in kitchenettes to keep food waste out of landfills; the program, which started as a simple idea, is now a huge success across DAS-owned buildings.
Another, programming copiers/printers to print black and white, two-sided only; just think of all of the ink and paper not wasted!</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#444444"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
