Washington Dental Service is going “Green” and Tread Light Gifts will be there to celebrate, teach, and learn with their employees.

Washington Dental Service, Washington’s leading dental services provider, is launching a company-wide green initiative by hosting a week of “green events” starting September 14. With different themes and events each day, WDS will focus on the importance of recycling, ride-share/commuting, reducing carbon footprints, water and conservation and living a “green lifestyle.” WDS is committed to making the most of our limited natural resources and preserving the environment for future generations by making environmentally conscious decisions and lessening our everyday impact on the environment.  We applaud WDS for taking the initiative to find ways their employees can be more green at work and home.

Tread Light Gifts will be joining WDS and local green businesses from 11-2pm on 9/16 for their Green Fair.   Other highlights from Washington Dental Services Green Week include:

• To encourage employees and other building tenants to leave their cars behind and bring or enjoy a meal at work, WDS is hosting local mobile vendors on their campus during Green Week.  Employees can enjoy fabulous cuisine from some Seattle’s most popular mobile vendors.  With food from Marination, Rancho Bravo, Kaosamai, and Skillet ,we don’t think it will take much to convince anyone to stay in for lunch.
• On Friday, September 18th, EarthWise, a mobile organics company specializing in local, organic and specialty products, will set up a mini farmer’s market in front of the Washington Dental Service building. WDS employees and our neighbors and tenants can purchase organic produce between the hours of 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. The produce offerings are vast, but best of all they are picked fresh from local farms.
• A number of eco-friendly focused films will be shown during the lunch hour, as well

What a great example Washington Dental is setting for companies around the world!
