CA Technologies Celebrates 6th Annual Green Weeks

'Going Green' and being environmentally responsible is no easy task -- it takes
dedication, commitment and hard work to be a part of something bigger than yourself.

Inspiring environmental awareness and dedicating time to lend a helping hand is something that resonates well with the employees of CA Technologies. A few weeks ago, the Atlanta office, shut down their computers and put their work on hold, to head out to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is rich in natural and human history, each influenced by the river’s pervasive force. For centuries people have been drawn to the river for a sources of water, food, transportation and in more recent times for power to sustain the mills, factories and homes built along its banks. Also, wild plants and animals, native to the area, are abundant in the park.

Employees spent the morning cleaning up the park and walking along the river bank to pick up trash to keep the river and environment safe for wildlife. This day on the river was spent celebrating CA Technologies annual Green Weeks initiative, where employees from other offices participated in volunteer activities across the U.S. including Atlanta, GA; Ewing, NJ; Islandia, NY; Pittsburgh, PA; and Tampa, FL.
