Environmental Initiatives

To reduce waste and consumption Jet-Lag is in the process of switching over to energy efficient, long lasting mercury flood lights, providing natural outdoor lighting indoors. It is our practice to routinely recycle cardboard, paper, plastic and metal.

Jet-Lag offers fabrics that are environmentally friendly such as hemp and bamboo.

Jet-Lag has replaced paper mailings with email updates to reduce the consumption of paper.
