The RICC has been taking an active role in incorporating green practices in the management of this facility. Green Committee meetings are held monthly to discuss and implement environmental initiatives. Our mission is to establish a Green program that is both financially responsible and environmentally conscientious. This will be accomplished through the placement of convenient public recycling bins for our attendees and staff along with a comprehensive education of our entire staff, partnered with targeted policies and periodic evaluations. Current practices include:

• Energy – Motion sensors and energy-efficient lighting is used in our 2,400-space parking garage. In emergency stairwells and meeting rooms, occupancy sensors for light are used as standard. LEDs replace outdated, high-power-consuming bulbs and reduce overall energy draw. 
• Water Treatment – We use green chemicals in all water treatment systems and for general cleaning.  Water conservation through the use of automatic faucets and flush valves in restrooms.
• Material Recycling – We are recycling all bottles, cans, office papers, and cardboard. Napkins found in the reception area are made from recycled paper and can be disposed of in recycling bins placed in all public areas.
• Collect & Conserve – All leftover food, fit for human consumption, as determined by the chef, is donated to a local food pantry “The Amos House” all other food is sent to a pulper for food composting. Additionally, all cooking oil is recycled and turned into Biodiesel.
