Over the years, Mountain Rose Herbs has aggressively implemented new and innovative ways to lessen our environmental footprint and protect the natural legacy that inspired us to move to this beautiful state. Our company is made up of passionate people who make conscious efforts in their own lives to help protect the precious resources that surround us.
One such effort is to combat excessive automobile usage, which is a primary contributor to global warming. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, American cars are driven further each year and burn more fuel per mile than the international average. The United States has five percent of the world’s population and 30 percent of the world’s automobiles. Shockingly, the US contributes a massive 45 percent of the world’s automotive CO2 emissions!
Wanting to become part of the solution, many Mountain Rose employees choose to carpool and bike to work. Rain or shine, our bike shed is regularly stacked with employee bikes!
To support the commendable efforts of these dedicated employees, Mountain Rose Herbs started a revolutionary program that offers cash incentives for carpooling and biking to work. This unique project pays staff members who carpool to work 12¢ per mile for each passenger, and 20¢ per mile for those who bike to work. In addition to the cash reward for each mile, the staff member who has logged the most miles each year is granted a $500 cash bonus!
Excess automobile usage is an environmental burden with frightening consequences. Driving cars requires non-renewable resources and heavily contributes to the growing problem of Co2 emissions and global climate change. Our carpool and bicycling program works in a small way to help alleviate these problems on a local level.
The carpool and bicycling to work incentive is just one program in a long line of forward-thinking sustainability programs we have implemented! You can read more about these exciting programs on our website:
