2,301.79 pounds of Recyclable Materials Collected in Houston

While our sustainability goals are focused on big targets at our projects, we believe that every person can make a difference.  Belinda Heater, Senior Project Office Manager in Houston is doing just that. 

“I’m always looking to for innovative ways to implement sustainable practices in the workplace,” says Belinda. 

Since earning her LEED Green Associate certification in 2012, Belinda has been a sustainability champion. Earlier this year, she launched a recycling initiative at our Houston office, providing every employee with recycled containers and clear guidelines on what can be recycled. The result? An impressive 2,301.79 pounds of recyclable materials collected—including cans, bottles, paper and cardboard! Their monthly recycling efforts are being tracked using an innovative calculator developed by Project Engineer Kyle Smith. 

Belinda’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the workplace; she hopes to inspire future generations through her efforts. “It makes a big difference in all areas of life. I hope I’m not only impacting the workplace but my children – and their children,” she says.
