Western Service Workers Association
Let’s Go Green!
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted unanimously by all 193 member states of the United Nations on September 25, 2015 – including the US – as the Agenda for all countries to prioritize and achieve cooperatively by 2030, to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.
The 2030 Agenda is consistent with the principles and programs WSWA has fought for since our inception: our battle against the increasing poverty and lack of living wages in our community. WSWA endorses these goals and promotes them to make them known to our volunteers, supporters and friends of labor throughout the area.
Solar Panels
Since 2019, WSWA has been powered by rooftop mounted photovoltaic solar panels. WSWA generates nearly 100% of its electricity use through its photovoltaic system.
Electric Vehicle Charging Station
WSWA’s office has an electric vehicle charging station that allows WSWA’s solar panels to power electric vehicles.
LED bulbs
WSWA’s office uses only LED bulbs to reduce electricity consumption and save on energy costs.
Reduce, Reuse, Reinvest with WSWA
Nearly all furniture in WSWA’s office is donated, saving it from a landfill. WSWA uses both sides of paper, distributes gently used clothing and carefully cares for its resources to best serve its membership.
