1. Sell eco-friendly products.
Today, over 90% of the products we sell in our stores are recyclable.

- Recycle 100% of cardboard, organics and plastics
- Reduce solid waste by 20%
- Reduce water usage by 20%
- Reduce Western Family packaging by 25%
3. 100% renewable energy.
We’re improving energy efficiency by upgrading equipment, store designs, and operating procedures. Our renewable energy goals:
- Existing stores 25% more efficient by 2014
- New stores 30% more efficient than benchmark stores
