*This week we bring you a two-part series highlighting activities across our Green Teams. These are just a snapshot of the numerous activities our Green Teams are contributing to every day ranging from volunteering in local communities to spearheading campus-wide sustainability efforts.*

*Today we begin with a post on our Springfield office’s recent award for sustainable commuting. Following we will bring you an update on the Green Team’s [One Mug, One Planet](http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/celebrating-earth-day-every-day-through-one-mug-one-planet-pledge) campaign.*

Last month, over 200 Symantec employees at our Springfield office participated in the region’s annual [Business Commute Challenge (BCC)](http://www.commutechallenge.org/), and helped our office win in the category for the largest sized companies!

The BCC is an annual week-long, friendly competition amongst local area Eugene-Springfield businesses to promote low impact forms of commuting and challenge companies to save the most non-drive alone trips in one week. The competition brings employers and workplace teams together to turn the daily commute into a transportation adventure.

This year more than **1,932 local employees** **formed 175 teams** to participate in the BCC. In just one week, BCC participants **reduced single-person car travel by 68,987 miles, saving 70,234 pounds of carbon dioxide.**
