Sustainability continues to be one of GVF's main focuses.  In addition to establishing the Climate Change Task Force in 2009, GVF has implemented a green plan.  Below are some highlights from the Green Plan:

• Reduced printing by 60,000 pieces of paper during Jan. 2009- Jan. 2010
• Business cards, paper, GVF folders and newsletter are all made from recycled material
• Converted most of our office and cleaning supplies to eco-friendly products
• All overhead lights throughout our office are T-8 LED
• We painted the walls with NO VOC paint
• Our office space is accessible to transit
