Why have a Sustainabili...TEA program? Why be "green"? Why put so much energy into protecting our planet? Because it is the right thing to do....

Bigelow Tea is a family company that has tried to do the right thing for our employees, the community and the planet since my grandmother founded the company back in 1945. We hope that our actions will help cultivate a positive influence and motivate others to do good things for the earth. We want to inspire our employees to see conservation as a way of life not just an initiative at the office. Maybe our collective efforts will encourage our customers to share with us some of the good work they are doing. And wouldn’t it be wonderful if our accomplishments inspire others to take action.

As I have said to those around me for a very long time "Do the right thing, and good things will follow". We can make a difference, each and every one of us. It doesn't have to always be "big things" either. Some of our programs are quite expansive (like our 1.5 million dollar solar panel project) and some are quite small-like bringing in our own tea mugs so that we do not continue to add to our land fill with disposable cups. Large or small, we believe that every step is important.

Thank you for letting us share with you all of our efforts here at Bigelow Tea to help make this world a better place. We know that together, we can make a difference...
