POLLACK Goes Zero

Sustainability. Global Warming. Carbon Emissions. Green Initiatives. While these are the buzz words of the new millennium, POLLACK architecture takes these matters seriously and has made bold moves to tackle the issues affecting the changes in global weather patterns.
Through The Conservation Fund's Go Zero Program, POLLACK committed itself to addressing this important issue. Taking into consideration the firm's daily operations, thousands of trees have been planted in a preserve to offset hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide. The results will do more than just fight climate change, they will restore wildlife habitats, improve air and water quality, expand recreational opportunities - leaving a lasting legacy for future, cooler generations. This initiative has also inspired POLLACK architecture to plant trees on behalf of its clients, sowing the seeds of a carbon-neutral future for its customers.
