Staff writer Christina Chapman wrote about the massive Kraft Foods plant in Morris' Prologis Park for today's Business section.
The behemoth is actually green.
It's been LEED certified. That means, according to the U.S. Green Building Council, that an "independent, third-party" has verified the "building project is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work."
That means that Kraft cheese you're eating may well be green.
Lest you think it's just lip service, one of the e-mails sent to Chapman was from a Kraft official whose title is "director of sustainability." No wonder sustainable building is happening.
Still not convinced? Under the Kraft official's e-mail signature, a green line of text reads, "Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail." That's a big official who is still looking out for the little things when it comes to the planet.
Thanks, Kraft!
