# Insidesource Expands Its Reach in the PNW with the Acquisition of Environments, Portland, Oregon

# Rockaway Beach Cleanup
By  November 3, 2021
## A day of giving back & inspiration
On October 22, 2021, Insidesource’s Philanthropic committee, The Heart Inside, teamed up with  to clean up Rockaway Beach, where we gathered to pick up trash on the beach, parking lots, and trails. We ended up with a total of 20 pounds of trash, 5 pounds of recyclable materials, and 374 cigarette butts.
Fun fact: The Pacifica Beach Coalition saves and sends all cigarette butts to **,** a recycling program that breaks down the materials, re-using them to create recycled industrial products, such as plastic pallets and park benches, with the remaining tobacco recycled as compost.
Inspired by The Heart Inside’s Beach Clean-Up, we decided to look for ways to incorporate the thought behind this initiative into how we work at Insidesource. As we are amid a refresh of our San Carlos Showroom design, we found this to be the perfect opportunity to create a workplace experience that connects back to our philanthropic and sustainability initiatives.
In the coming months, we’ll update you on the progress of our showroom refresh with new product spotlights and an emphasis on sustainability. Follow the story on our **** and our creative platform, ****, to learn more about how we are creating workplace experiences that work for you and for the environment.
