This company operates on the Big Island of Hawaii. Life in the office can be pretty frustrating if you’re a person that cares about sustainability and the environment. There are energy-inefficient overhead lights that are left on around the clock. Break rooms have plastic utensils and entirely too much paper is used. Increasingly, though, more and more companies are getting rid of these office norms and becoming environmentally friendly.

But in reality, it won’t. I was visiting the Lanai City Museum to read-up on the history of the island. A twenty-year-old video looped in the background. It shared a fascinating tale of the rise and fall of industry on Lanai. The locals explained how the sugarcane industry had come and gone.
