We try to reduce the Agency’s everyday impact on the environment. For example, we had the offices’ roofs painted with isolating and sun reflecting materials to reduce our use of AC, we recycle the Agency coffee pods, vegetable scraps and cardboard to make compost for the Agency’s planters and the surrounding street’s greens spaces. We discourage buying bottled water by offering filtered refrigerated mineral tap water. We do not buy bottled soaps or any unnecessary plastic bottled items.
