Let's Go Green!

In an effort to do our part to keep an environmentally-friendly office, as well as reduce costs, OrthoSynetics is going green. We ask everybody to look for easy ways that we can make our office greener, as well as reduce costs ... and we've taken some initial steps to do just that.

First, we’ve created this Web site. This site is meant not just for our team in Metairie – but for all the team members in all of our practices throughout the country. You’ll notice a button and form to "Submit Ideas". This is a place for you to send us your ideas on simple things we all can do to help our company be more green and reduce costs.

It may be as simple as turning off your computer at night (or even on your lunch hour) ... or using recycled paper ... or by following some of the simple “Green Tips” included on this site.

A few weeks ago, Richard Drouant in our Metairie office noticed that we were using mass quantities of Styrofoam cups. So we did something about it. Now, everybody in the Metairie office has new OrthoSynetics cups made out of 100% U.S. Corn Plastic.

So your ideas matter. And we want to hear from you about how OrthoSynetics can be more green.
