A protector of creditors’ rights in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska, South & Associates, P.C., is increasing their greenness. The firm has been paperless for over three years with the implementation of its advanced imaging system, and is now cutting down its consumption of other raw materials as well.

Additions to the firm’s green efforts include the installation of aluminum recycling bins and additional paper recycling bins. Washable hand towels and silverware were purchased, eliminating the need for the disposable versions of these items. A “lights off” policy was implemented to conserve electricity when an office or conference room is not in use. Employees are also encouraged to car pool and use coffee mugs and refillable water bottles.
The increased green efforts were rolled out on April 22, in observance of Earth Day. Employees made signs and held an informational meeting to convey the importance of being green. All four South & Associates offices – located in Kansas City, Missouri; St. Louis, Missouri; Wichita, Kansas; and Omaha, Nebraska – participated in the Earth Day festivities.
