Our Changing Climate: Walking our talk (part 2)

By Seth Preston, Communications Manager, Air Quality Program

I’ve written previously about Ecology’s Carbon Smart initiative. The effort aims to reduce our own climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions and also help other state agencies, businesses and individuals.

Here are two more ways that we are working to “walk the talk”:

• See this recent blog post on electric vehicle charging stations now in use at Ecology’s headquarters in Lacey.

The charging stations are free to anyone who wants to use them, not just Ecology employees. That’s a requirement of state law.

The stations provide both 120 volts and 208 volts for charging.

• We’re also offering a repair station for those Ecology employees who telecommute to work at Lacey HQ via bicycle. You can read about that here on our Carbon Smart web page.
