At Raytheon Missile Systems, going green means more than just sticking recycle bins in the lunch room.

It's about a 27.5-percent reduction in waste sent to the landfill since 2008. It's about cutting water use by 10 percent, providing carpools and bus routes to employees, bringing biodiesel to Tucson and using compostable forks and plates in the cafeterias.

It's about encouraging employees to ride loaner bikes around the sprawling campus instead of driving from building to building. It's about donating unneeded office and building supplies, furniture, electronics and even Bubble Wrap to local not-forprofits.

And of course, it's about recycling 3,657 tons of paper, cardboard, aluminum and other materials every year.

"We really want to be the green standard in our business, in the community and in the industry," said Hyte Johnson, director of environmental health and safety, at Raytheon Missile Systems. "I want people to get on buses to come see how we do what we do. We need to make sure sustainability is a way of life for our employees."
