As a non-profit organization whose mission, in part, is to preserve and expand safe, decent, affordable rental housing, the Cleveland Tenants Organization recognizes that reducing our impact on climate change is an essential act in preserving a safe, decent, and affordable future for our children and generations of children to come.

  •         Reducing paper consumption by increasing utilization of internet-based communications
  •         Printing and copying on both sides of paper
  •         Instituting a paper, plastic, and aluminum can recycling program
  •         Utilizing internet-based meeting technologies and e-mail to decrease the reliance of employees, volunteers and program participants on car travel
  •         Encouraging employee, board, and volunteer use of public transportation
  •         Posting an environmental change statement on our website
  •        Turning off lights whenever we leave a room
  •        Utilizing CFL bulbs for lighting when possible
  •        Keeping a scrap box of draft paper so that both sides of paper can be used
  •        Replacing old computers with energy-efficient notebooks
  •        Switching off copier and computers every evening
  •        Turning off air conditioning and other cooling devices during evening and weekend summer hours
  •        Reducing the thermostat and turning off other heating devices during evening and weekend winter hours
