Welcome to HONBLUE’s Sustainability Site. Treehuggers, LEED Accredited Professionals, eco-enthusiasts, and even non-recyclers and Styrofoam users are all welcome here. The purpose of this site is to inspire those that don’t subscribe to concepts and practices of the triple bottom line and share stories of success with those that do.

Hosting this site is me, HONBLUE’s very own sustainability consultant, Shannon Hines. I’m a lifelong conservationist and currently I head up our sustainability initiatives. If you have any questions, I’m your girl.
