The challenge is less of a competition, and more of a network of 150 participating companies, organizations and cities that want to know more - and maybe do more - good for the planet and their communities. “It’s almost like we needed to join the challenge to energize that spark to make the necessary changes,” said Albert. The museum’s current exhibit through July 31 is about the electric car, and the venue is now using recycled plastic cups, and re-introduced a recycling bin for glass and plastic bottles. The changes aren’t only happening inside either, according to Albert. “We want to change the green spaces in front of the museum to be more sustainable by bringing in drought tolerant plants,” she said. Speaking of water, the number of half-empty water bottles is way down since the venue added a drinking fountain and gave staff and docents reuseable water bottles. “I was surprised by how much we have accomplished in six months as a team.” The South Bay Cities Council is a joint powers authority of 16 South Bay cities dedicated to preserving and improving the quality of life and productivity in the region. Staff members promoted the Green Building Challenge and hit the pavement to inform business owners about the first-year program underwritten by Southern California Edison, the Gas Co., the Energy Network, and the West Basin Municipal Water District and the Golden State Water Co. Program co-coordinator Renee Daigneault said that businesses are generally unaware that assistance programs exist to lower their consumption of energy and water, and that The car museum in El Segundo accepted the Green Building Challenge.

That includes new equipment. “That’s what we’re there to do, to connect them with the right resources,” she said. “They’re running a business and focused on their core competency. They’re not thinking about the expense of operating their boiler down in the basement.” The challenge is comprised of 70 different actions a business can take with energy, water, waste and transportation. Businesses can log in to view the activities available to them. “We want them to look at all of the things they need to do to be more sustainable,” she said. Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems decided to get involved and the El Segundo plant redoubled its already considerable energyconservation and waste-reduction efforts. Raytheon had replaced 25,000 light fixtures at the facility by the time the challenge got underway last September. Still, the company saw that more building-energy management could be done. “Green Building Challenge inspired Raytheon to broaden our sustainability programs at our El Segundo site,” spokeswoman Trudy Sullivan told the Herald. The vice president for Communications and Community Affairs said that Raytheon employees, customers and suppliers share a responsibility for sustainability. It did all right before the challenge began. Raytheon is ranked 33rd on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership Fortune 500 Partners list, is a 2016 Energy Star Partner of the Year and a recipient of 2014 Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award. The El Segundo employees turn down nonessential lighting, computers, and equipment during statewide flex alerts. Raytheon reduced water consumption by 58 percent from 2008 to 2015, and sent 80 percent less waste to the landfill through a “Zero Office Waste” program started in 2013, according to the company. Lindsay Palomera at Stream Realty in Torrance said her office used the challenge to make a dozen changes, from switching to eco-friendly cleaning products to tinting exterior windows that keep out the heat. Stream Realty manages the eight-story Pacific Center at 21250 Hawthorne Blvd. with 300,000 square feet of offices and suites. Tenants in the building are offered an opportunity to recycle cardboard, light bulbs and electronics. LED lighting and controls are required for all tenant improvements, and fan motors for heating and cooling the building use a smart technology for lightening the energy load, plus the wear and tear on the HVAC system. “It is important to Stream Realty to uphold our own environmental responsibility and to do our part to allow each tenant in Pacific Center to uphold their environmental responsibility as well,” Palomera said. Green Hapas Recycling owner Erik Minamihata says he realized from entering the challenge that things around the office and in the business needed attention, “such as making sure all of our computers and electronics are off before we leave the office. Another thing we do is that we don’t run our AC (air conditioning) unless it’s absolutely necessary.” The family-owned supplier of printer inks and toners for businesses sells original equipment manufacturer toners, from companies like HP and Brother, and compatible toners made by third parties. His own office uses manufactured toners because they’re cheaper and made from reusable products, Minamihata said. “We provide them so that was an easy one for us,” he said, “and we make sure they’re recycled properly after we’re done with them.” Green Hapas reduces printing and paper usage by creating and storing online documents, and the staff work from home as much as they can. “We also make sure to reach out and help educate local businesses on what to do with their empty toners when they’re done with them,” the Torrance business owner said. He credits the Green Business Challenge and the Leadership Torrance group for connecting him with a new customer, Walser’s art supplies and digital printing in that city, and the owner Jack Walser. “I had a great experience being in the challenge,” Minamihata told me. The challenge will end next month, but the momentum to eliminate wasteful practices will continue. “Absolutely, it’s time to take action,” Daigneault said.
