Eco Promises

Our Eco Promise to You:

MWR is committed to improving our processes today for a better, cleaner, safer environment tomorrow. We have partnered with DLA Installation Operations at Columbus Environmental Division to identify ways we can be more eco-friendly today, and tomorrow!

Our Eco Promise principles (expand to see all current Eco Promises):

Reduce plastic and Styrofoam usage

All MWR retail bags are now reusable, paper or compostable.
Cafe 20 now utilizes eco-friendly fiber food containers (eliminated Styrofoam)

Offer Eco-friendly options to our customers

All of our latex balloons are now 100% biodegradable latex and come with "dispose of me properly" instructions.

Develop pollinator and native prairie habitats on the installation

Our Hope Garden now includes pollinator flowers and shrubs.
Eagle Eye Golf Course in now home to three Bluebird Boxes (our Eco-Helpers Bluebird Box Team works to maintain these boxes).

Utilize renewable energy sources

Offer eco-friendly giveaways and programs

Annual Trash to Treasures Workshop in April.
Annual Shred Day in May.
All 2019 MWR promotional items are eco-friendly. **As part of the Trees for the Future program, trees have been planted on behalf of DSCC-MWR that will remove 100 pounds of pollution from the global atmosphere, while protecting lands and assisting the natural return of past diversity.**

Manage food waste diversion and composting program at food service operations

Utilize eco-friendly products to clean and landscape MWR facilities

Maximize recycling efforts
