Enlisting all their employees in a campaign to reduce their own carbon footprint at H2M by reducing electrical usage and waste. "We all have a responsibility to the environment and future generations, our group will create a culture that eliminates wasteful practices and will develop practical, measurable and marketable solutions to achieve these goals," said Lanner.
