we model SUSTAINABILITY thru leadership and innovation

• reSTART is the first treatment program in the United States to mentor young adults in the sustainable use of digital technology
• we address technology over-consumption which has a positive environmental impact
• users are educated on the toxic e-waste associated with electronics

we employ sustainable business practices

• we love trees and so we chart electronically
• we limit the number of brochures we print and distribute
• electronic versions of our program information are provided to clients first

we nurture and care for the environment

• "Leave No Trace" is taught and modeled on every outing
• water resources are used conservatively
• we use second-hand, recycled building materials where feasible in our building projects
• our center replaces equipment with ENERGY STAR appliances
• programmable thermostats control heating and cooling systems

waste not want not

• reduce, reuse, repair, then recycle is our mantra

and when it comes to digital media consumption

• digital electronics are shared, repaired, delayed and recycled
• we are guided by the belief that the latest and greatest is not always the smartest choice
• the use and dispose way of thinking is unsustainable
