Going Green Initiative 2014 - Bead Drive and Earth Hour
Tenant
Memo: Going Green Initiative
Earth Hour 2014: Use Your Power & Go Beyond the Hour
1515/1555 Poydras & the JLL Management Team are
working towards A Cleaner Tomorrow! We will be playing a vital role in Earth
Hour 2014 and you can help us not only
participate in Earth Hour but to also Go Beyond the Hour to have a Cleaner
Tomorrow too!
1515/1555 plans to show our support for our planet. We
are challenging our Tenants and Vendors to take part in their very own Earth
Hour! This is not just to save power for an hour, but it’s a change of
attitude and lifestyle. If we, along with billions of others around the
world express our concern over our ecological crisis & climate change and
be a bit more environmentally friendly, the planet will be a much better place
during our lives and our children’s lives.
Now – April 4th
Prior to Earth Hour, 1515/1555
Poydras Buildings and JLL Management will Use our Power and Go Beyond
the Hour by hosting a BEAD DRIVE.
Beginning March 13th
through April 4th, Tenants
and Vendors are encouraged to bring in those unwanted Mardi Gras Beads to be
recycled and donated to ARC of Greater New Orleans.
ARC is a 501K organization that provides
various services throughout the entire Greater New Orleans community including
Early Intervention, Family Services Coordination, Respite, Personal Care, Employment/Habilitation
and Supported Living assistance.
Arc asks for donations of beads and
throws from area residents that are then sorted, packaged by people with
intellectual disabilities and sold to float riders in 30-pound crawfish sacks.
JLL is asking for your help to assist Arc of GNO and the Sierra Club as they
recycle Mardi Gras beads, trinkets, and stuffed animals for the Carnival
Seasons, and keep them out of the landfills!!

At the office…
1st…before leaving
your office March 28th,
please turn off all unnecessary lights in the office. (Janitorial will assist in this effort as
well by turning off lights as they finish cleaning on this evening.)
2nd…turn off your
computers, computer screens and printers.
3rd …turn off any
unnecessary office equipment and unplug the transformers. Did you know
that transformer plugs continue to drain power when left plugged in and not in
use?
At home…
1st…do the same
type of things identified above for your office at home.
2nd…go through
each room of your home and see what you can turn off or unplug.
3rd…make it a
party with candle lights, cookouts, crawfish boils and bon fires.
4th…encourage
family, friends and others to take part in Earth Hour 2014.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour 2014 will be held on Saturday 29 March
between 8:30PM and 9:30PM
in your local time zone. The event is held worldwide towards the end of March
annually, encouraging individuals, communities households and businesses to
turn off their non-essential lights for one hour as a symbol for their
commitment to the planet. Earth Hour goes a step further by incorporating Earth
Hour Blue, which asks participants to go beyond the hour and create other ways
of making your community more sustainable.
The JLL Management Team thanks everyone
who plans to take part—and to everyone who continues to
support the environment to help ensure a sustainable future for our families,
our firms and our planet.

Thanks again,
