Lightlife's Healthy Planet Effort

Taking After Our Veggies.

If our veggies are going to do their part for the world, it only seems right that we do the same. Ever since we opened our doors, we've looked for ways to work smarter, all in hopes of doing good for our people, community and planet. Implementing environmentally friendly practices is the job of our "Green Team". Here are just a few ideas they've come up with...

Saving Water

Converting Lightlife's steam heat pasteurization process to a hot water system decreased water usage and brought significant energy reduction.

Bringing the Sunshine Inside

We revamped our plant lighting from white light to warm light, improving light quality for everyone (warm light acts as natural sunlight), while eliminating the need for increased lighting – and the energy it would require.

Composting

Local farmers have always been the beneficiaries of our rich and natural compost. Much of our organic waste is composted to grow veggies, grain and flowers for others.

Wearing Smaller Shoes

We're reducing our carbon footprint in a way that supports developing communities. Working with The Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), our emission offsets help bring solar power – and the health & educational benefits that come with a reliable energy – to developing countries.

Bucket Brigade

While it might seem a small thing, we donate our 5-gallon plastic tofu buckets to community groups and state universities. Big leaps are often built upon the smallest of steps.
