Strive Towards Sustainability (STS) is a program for small to medium size businesses to jumpstart a new or existing green team, learn how to develop a program of sustainable business practices that save money and reduce environmental impacts, and market accomplishments.  WasteCap Nebraska will introduce the program through half-day workshops starting on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 from 8:30AM – 12:00PM at Ayars & Ayars Inc., 2436 N. 48th Street in Lincoln.    A second workshop will be held in Omaha on January 30th at ME Group headquarters, 8040 Davenport.  To register, visit: www.wastecapne.org/sts.

The STS Program is intended to work with businesses to improve their practices.  The Program is voluntary and self-reporting.  It provides early recognition and a step-by-step approach for companies to establish sustainable business practices, record their actions, measure the impact and market accomplishments.

WasteCap Nebraska’s mission is to partner with business leaders to implement resource conservation strategies that improve profitability, community goodwill and employee pride. A statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, WasteCap Nebraska advances sustainable business practices through facilitation, training and community outreach.
