Union Pacific will sponsor WasteCap Nebraska’s May 14 Green Team Roundtable at their headquarters, 1400 Douglas in Omaha. The meeting will run from 11:30am to 1:00 pm and includes a zero-waste lunch provided by Guckenheimer, Union Pacific’s food service provider. To register, visit www.wastecapne.org/greenteams/. The registration deadline is May 9 at 4:00 pm. Cost is $10 or $8 for WasteCap Nebraska and Green Omaha Council members.
Thomas Regan, General Manager for Guckenheimer at Union Pacific will discuss their organization’s “REAL” certification and how it serves Union Pacific Railroad’s sustainable business goals. REAL stands for Responsible Epicurean and Agricultural Leadership, a certification of the United States Healthful Food Council (USHFC). Union Pacific operates North America’s premier railroad franchise, and plays a critical role in delivering the goods American families and businesses use nearly every day.
