Reducing our Carbon Footprint

We are reducing our carbon emissions by taking actions such as reducing travel by 25% from 2010 to 2011; increasing teleworking; completing numerous energy and water efficiency projects, fleet management improvements and waste reduction efforts at our refuges, hatcheries and offices; encouraging employees to use mass transit, carpool or use other modes of non-automobile based travel for commuting; and many other measures.  A 2011 interim report is available online (467KB pdf file).
