implements strategies that create incentives for employees and customers to use alternative modes of transportation. As part of this initiative, we provide a bulletin for our employees with information on public transit routes, ridesharing information, bicycle/metro route and safety information and other pertinent information and materials. Our employees and customers can enroll in our public transportation voucher program, which reimburses all costs for the use of transportation. We also provide funding for safe bicycle storage, such as racks or lockers, bike U-locks, helmets, and other equipment for customers who qualify for low-income discounts. California Organics' facilities maintain proper sidewalk clearance space from bike racks for wheelchairs, and ensure an adequate number of curb cuts, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Materials/Waste Storage and Disposal: We always practice the Three R's of Sustainability: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Separate recycling containers are placed throughout the facility for both employees and patrons and ensure that regular pickups are conducted with ease. Electronic waste is also be collected and brought to appropriate outlets. California Organics' recordkeeping system incorporates the goal of eliminating paper records in the scope of compliance whenever possible to reduce our overall waste contribution. California Organics creates a lighthearted competitive atmosphere amongst the staff by tracking the amount of waste produced at the facility and introducing incentives for reducing the amount of landfill waste generated. Further, we will work with our rockwool grow cube provider to find the best solutions for reusing or recycling our grow media. Equipment & Policies: We use environmentally friendly equipment whenever feasible and have established green company policies for the sole purpose of creating environmental consciousness amongst the staff. Equipment and materials include fuel efficient distribution vehicles, "Energy Star" rated appliances, integration of recycled materials with respect to interior design elements, and photovoltaic panels. We plan to purchase at least two (2) distribution vehicles and to outfit each to meet Local and State specifications. We are also looking into the feasibility of adding photovoltaic/solar panels to help offset our energy consumption. As a cannabis cultivator solar panels offer a great way to reduce our energy consumption while showing our commitment to sustainable practices and the overall environment. F.
