Our Progress So Far….

2009

• Began composting vegetable scraps, meat, and other biodegradable items, amounting to 18 cubic feet (several hundred pounds) of compost per week

2010

• Designated a drawer of our copier for half-used paper, decreasing overall use of copy paper
• Took our grants record-keeping paperless

2011

• Purchased twice as many Denver Urban Garden produce shares as in 2010 while also receiving donated produce from several DUG affiliates
• Streamlined our process for soliciting, collecting, and processing locally grown produce from local sources, including backyard gardeners
• Switched to half-used paper for all printing of meal delivery route and map sheets, ultimately buying 13% less fresh copy paper in 2011 than in 2010; the savings were used to purchase 30% recycled copy paper
• Began asking donors to go green by electing to receive acknowledgments electronically and/or at year’s end only, nearly 200 responded, resulting in hundreds of dollars of savings in printed letterhead and postage costs
• Saved approximately 8,600 miles driven per year through staff members working from home, biking, or using public transportation
• More than 5,000 lbs of fruits, vegetables, and herbs were donated to the Project Angel Heart kitchen from individuals gardeners, community gardens, and small farms, an estimated 50% increase over 2010 produce donations

2012

• Chard, tomatoes, squash, peppers, and herbs have been planted. They continue to grow and are maintained by volunteers in the garden beds at Project Angel Heart's new facility.
• Project Angel Heart qualified as a Certifiably Green Denver partner program
• More to come!
