    Far from perfect. Still worth doing, and worth doing better every year.

      What an interesting graphic! I am actually surprised toys is so low! We did quite a bit of donating to Goodwill last year. I always find lots of treasures at thrift stores and hope that people can do the same with the things I donate.

    What happens in our buildings doesn’t stay in our buildings. We reduce energy use and emissions, helping protect the environment these ospreys depend on.

    Photometric modeling for our Airport Outlet lighting upgrade.
    Beyond fixture replacement, this analysis helps us evaluate:
    • Light level distribution (not just brightness)
    • Over-lit vs under-lit zones
    • Opportunities for energy reduction without compromising performance
    In large format retail + production environments, lighting is not just about visibility, it directly impacts energy use, comfort, and operational efficiency.
    The goal is not “more light,” but the right light in the right place.

    “Our Power, Our Planet” is the Earth Day theme for 2026. I wonder what other organizations do for this day.

    Eco Challenge timing is elite, right in the middle of osprey egg season at Goodwill Washougal Store. Two eggs in the nest and I’m way more invested than I should be.
