Give Something Back
Two days ago, our office manager alerted all of us to a change in how Mozilla would get its office products. Our new provider is called Give Something Back. I pulled this quote from their website’s “About Us” page:
“Give Something Back started with a basic idea — sell business products for less and donate the profits back to the community. Fifteen years and more than $3 million in donations later, over 13,000 customers have chosen Give Something Back.”
In addition to being one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area, they are also trying to source and sell environmentally responsible products. Now at Mozilla, we can buy recycled products including “folders, calendars, pens, and of course a wide selection of recycled papers that match or beat the quality of virgin-fiber papers.”
Give Something Back’s headquarter building in Oakland is also environmentally progressive. It has “solar panels, high efficiency lighting fixtures and the latest low-flow toilets. The Company recycles its paper, batteries, toner cartridges, aluminum cans and cardboard, and practices environmentally sound printing.”
Give Something Back knows what’s up.
Glad we can support them at Mozilla. And, a special recognition to Karen, our office manager, who worked out all details of the relationship.
Good job!
