The numbers say it all:
- 3,300 pounds of paper and electronic equipment recycled at TI's Santa Clara, California site.
- 7,000 pounds of electronic equipment recycled at MFAB in South Portland, Maine.
- 9,500 pounds of televisions, computers and other electronics recycled in Dallas, plus more than 1,000 pounds of paper shredded.
TI employees worldwide embraced efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle in honor of Earth Day this year by participating in on-site events.
Worldwide action
Throughout April, TI sites around the world hosted events designed to educate and inspire employees to take specific actions to become safer, greener and healthier.
At TI's Clark facility in the Philippines, 40 employees planted 80 mahogany saplings and several varieties of vegetable plants, launching the Gulayan sa TI project.
Through similar Gulayan sa projects across the Philippines, the government is encouraging schools, municipalities and businesses to grow vegetables to help promote vegetable consumption and reduce the cost of buying vegetables.
Vegetables grown through the TI program may be used to feed the needy or may be cooked for volunteers working on citizenship activities.
Also, plastic bottles were collected for use in the site's tree nursery.
Healthy living
In Dallas, more than 440 employees participated in health screenings, sampled healthy foods and learned about products and services available to employees during an on-site wellness fair.
At TI's Bangalore, India site employees were able to pick up a Simarouba (Lakshmitaru) sapling to take home and plant, and also listen to agriculture professors explain research they have conducted, using the plants to treat patients for many ailments, including cancer and leukemia.
