A2: Google

The Detroit Free Press reports on efforts by Google’s Ann Arbor office to “go green.” Projects include installing solar panels on the roof of the building – owned by McKinley Inc. – where their office is located, putting in a greenhouse in the basement to grow food for the company’s café, and building an outdoor green space. [An effort observed recently by a Chronicle reader.] From the report: “Last year, when Google was in the midst of renewing its lease at 201 S. Division St., it decided to make its office as green as possible. Its landlord, Ann Arbor-based McKinley, embraced the idea, and the two companies are sharing the costs of the green building projects.” [Source]
