About 3,000 solar panels now line the rooftops at Cook Medical’s headquarters. This project to invest in sustainable solar energy is Cook’s most recent initiative to create cleaner, healthier communities.
At the beginning of 2022, Cook Medical began installing solar panels on several buildings at Cook’s headquarters. The first building to receive solar panels was the North American Distribution Center, where many products are shipped out to patients. At this building alone, the solar panels will offset more than 1,000 metric tons of CO2 in the first year of use—the equivalent of the amount of CO2 generated from burning six rail cars’ worth of coal.

The Bloomington Arts Commission’s goal is to provide a means for the City of Bloomington to stimulate and promote community appreciation for and participation in the arts. The commission gathers and disseminates information; promotes practical initiatives; and measures, monitors, and reports on our community's progress toward sustainability. The Bloomington Arts Commission recognizes that the arts are an important part of the culture and economy of the community, and that the City has a responsibility to foster an environment conducive to the community's participation in the arts. The conservation and development of the city's artistic resources are essential to the social, educational, and economic growth of the city. Artists, works of art, and artistic institutions contribute to the quality of life and the general welfare of the citizens of Bloomington.
