Case Study:
Alonzo Printing & Congregational Emanu-El
Alonzo Printing  DOWNLOAD PDF
Alonzo Printing is a full-service commercial printer in Hayward. Alonzo adopted a variety of practices that lower energy and resource use, and reduce waste. Use of recycled paper avoids deforestation and prevents the release of nearly 5,000 tons of green-house gas emissions annually, while efficiency improvements to printing equipment and lighting reduced overhead costs and further avoided emissions. Currently, SF Community Power is working with Alonzo on promoting reduced private vehicle usage and looking into organizing a shuttle system directly from BART to the Alonzo office.
