Another one of Colden’s important responsibilities is to manage the
company’s progressive carpooling and
bike program. Carpoolers are reimbursed 12 cents for every mile they
travel to and from work and bicyclists
get a premium of 20 cents per mile.
This can add up to an extra $80 to
$150 per month for employees who
participate, and at the end of the year
the person who accumulates the most
miles is given a $500 bonus. “Other

indoor air quality.
So Mountain Rose Herbs got rid of
it all—no chemical agents, no solvents,
no commercial detergents, no VOC
paints. Instead, everything used at the
facility is based on natural extracts and
is completely biodegradable. Instead
of using chlorine as a sanitizer, the
company uses peracetic acid, a concentrated form of hydrogen peroxide
and vinegar that completely breaks
down to natural substances. The primary industrial cleaning agents are ordered in bulk from the Bio-Kleen
