CA Technologies Celebrates 7th Annual Green Weeks

The waterways of the Chattahoochee River area are a little bit cleaner today thanks to the efforts of employees from CA Technologies in Atlanta. In celebration of Earth Day, employees went down to the river to remove trash and clear debris from the riverbanks.

The Chattahoochee River Basin supplies more than 70 percent of metro Atlanta’s water for drinking so it is imperative to keep the river clean.

“A great deal of garbage ends up in our rivers every day, which not only creates an eyesore, but threatens the lives of species that depend on this habitat,” said David Thomas, Volunteer Coordinator, Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Atlanta.

Conducting business in a way that advances sustainability is a top priority for CA Technologies. The Chattahoochee River project is part of CA Technologies' nationwide 7th annual Green Week initiative in which the company is showing its continued commitment to promote environmental awareness and its sustainability efforts. Throughout the week, employees will volunteer at nonprofit organizations around the world and participate in activities like beach clean-ups, tree plantings, trail maintenance and more.
