Introducing our Google Barcode

We have this barcode that goes directly to our “From the Green Cup” page, thanks to Julie North, our DU grad student that is conducting a  Wash Perk Sustainability Assessment.  Peeps with “smart phones” can take a picture of this barcode at our shop and it will take them to our page that contains information about our attempts and successes in becoming more sustainable as a business.

I want to extend many thanks again to all of you wonderful helpers who so quickly came to contribute in these two weeks to make  a fast transition in to the new space.  I especially want to say thank you to JASON “BEAR” BERRETT, LENNIE HIGGINS, ANDY DUPREE and SUSAN LUX for your overtime and assistance beyond the call of duty.   And, thank you Debbi, for the long hours you put in with me and tolerated without me!
