Washington State University: Ever Green
The University Publishing team at Washington State University has made a perennial commitment to environmentally conscious operations and materials usage.
Rigby acknowledges that certification has come with a price tag, costing about $4,000 the first year, slightly more the second year, and "about the same" this year. And payment comes right out of the budget of the self-sustaining in-plant.
"Some people might not think it's worth it, but we work in the state of Washington, known as a green state, and we value environmental responsibility within the industry," he declares. "Plus, when you factor out that investment over 4,000 to 5,000 jobs a year, it doesn't seem too expensive."
