Lutheran Services for the Aging, an AAHSA member, included environmental protections in their recent renovation project. They designed their parking lot around the existing trees on the property to protect the old growth - protecting the environment and adding to the beauty of the campus.

“Environmentalism is part of being a good citizen in the community,” said Lutheran Services President Ted W. Goins Jr. “… We take that responsibility very seriously. We were advised that it would be easier to just cut the trees down, but sometimes the easy solution is not always best.”

Even though they could have saved the money, they opted to help the earth and beautify the campus. What types of things has your organization been doing to protect the environment?
