    Our Green Office: Chairs in the reception area use seat belts that are remnants or seconds - material that does not meet stringent standards for cars but is still strong and durable.

    WRI is a growing organization. Our main reception area is on the 8th floor, but we have staff working on the 5th and 7th floors as well.
