It's Official: Roughstock Earns Green Certification
[09.26.07]
Roughstock's been getting some press for our recent certification as a San Francisco Green Business! We've worked closely with various city agencies throughout the fairly exhaustive certification process, focusing on reducing energy and water consumption, minimizing Roughstock's waste stream, and adopting purchasing policies that reflect environmentally preferable standards.
This certification marks an important shift for both myself and Roughstock; I really want this studio to serve as an agent for change within both San Francisco and the larger business and design worlds. This includes working directly with environmentally and socially conscious companies, as well as operating as sustainably as we can.
It's reassuring to know that both our local business community and the wider design world recognizes the value in sustainable business practices. Read what they're saying about Roughstock:

Way to go Jess, I'm glad to hear you earned the certification and I'm excited to see what lies in the future for you and your firm. I hope others will follow in the path and work towards lessening their impact to the environment. Me included!
Thanks, Tom, I really appreciate the support. A lot of what I'm doing to be green is stuff people can easily implement in their own workplace and home, and my hope is that eventually it will all be considered standard practice!
