Sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s a commitment. In this month’s issue of the VOICE Magazine, we explore how Thurston County businesses and public leaders are turning that commitment into real, measurable impact across our region.
At the heart of this issue is the 2026 Green Business Forum & Awards, happening April 8 at Saint Martin’s University. This signature Chamber event brings together innovators, decisionmakers, and community leaders to celebrate progress and spark new ideas for a more sustainable future. This year’s keynote speaker, global sustainability expert Dr. Amanda Bielawski, will challenge us to think bigger about how local action connects to global change— particularly at the intersection of climate, water, and nature.
We’re also proud to highlight this year’s Thurston Green Business Award winners.
From behind-the-scenes kitchen operations to large-scale energy systems, sustainability shows up in many forms. OlyPure Inc., our Small Business of the Year, is helping restaurants reduce waste and prevent pollution by transforming used cooking oil into biodiesel—proving that even the smallest operational shifts can create a significant environmental impact.
Holy Lamb Organics / Olympia Bed Store, recognized as Medium Business of the Year, demonstrates what it means
to build sustainability into the DNA of a company. For more than 25 years, they’ve embraced a zero-waste mindset, ethical sourcing, and community partnerships— showing that longevity and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
As Large Business of the Year, Sunset Air is helping lead the region’s transition to clean energy. Through heat pump installations, solar systems, and EV infrastructure, they are making energy efficiency more accessible while supporting a more resilient future for homes and businesses alike.
And as Municipality of the Year, Thurston County reminds us that sustainability is also about systems, planning, and collaboration. From the Thurston 2045 Comprehensive Plan to clean energy investments and regional partnerships, the County is working to ensure longterm environmental and economic health for our entire community.
We hope this issue inspires you to think about your own role in building a more sustainable Thurston County—and to join us on April 8 as we celebrate those leading the way.

OlyPure Inc. FILTA ENVIRONMENTAL KITCHEN SOLUTIONS
SMALL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
Sustainability often happens behind the scenes. For OlyPure Inc., a locally owned Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions franchise, that work takes place in restaurant kitchens across Thurston County. By helping restaurants micro-filter, recycle, and manage cooking oil, the company is reducing waste, preventing pollution, and turning used oil into biodiesel. This year, OlyPure Inc. is recognized as the Thurston Green Small Business of the Year for its innovative approach to sustainability in the food service industry.
We spoke with Nate Gunderson, owner of OlyPure Inc., to learn more about how the company is helping local businesses reduce waste while improving safety and efficiency.
What does OlyPure do for local businesses?
OlyPure provides cooking oil filtration, fryer management, and kitchen cleaning services to restaurants, bars, convenience stores, and other food service businesses throughout Thurston County. By micro-filtering cooking oil and keeping fryers clean, we help businesses extend the life of their oil, reduce costs, and improve kitchen safety.
Our service also removes the burden of handling and disposing of used cooking oil. Instead of kitchen staff hauling it to a traditional waste oil bin, the oil we collect directly from fryers is recycled into biodiesel, creating a cleaner fuel source.
How does your work support sustainability?
Our core business model is built around reducing waste and environmental impact. By using a proprietary microfiltering process and recycling cooking oil, we help restaurants significantly reduce oil consumption and packaging waste.
Globally, through Filta’s services, these efforts have helped:
• Save over a billion pounds of cooking oil
• Prevent 26,600 tons of carbon emissions
• Convert 7,800 tons of waste oil into biodiesel
• Reduce plastic packaging by hundreds of tons
Filtering oil also means fewer boxes of oil being shipped and less waste entering landfills or waterways.

Where has your business been most successful in green practices?
One of the biggest successes is keeping used cooking oil out of waste streams and storm drains. Instead, it is collected and sent to refineries where it can be converted into biofuels.
Our mobile service allows us to take used oil directly from fryers, which reduces pollution risks, prevents spills, and ensures kitchens follow environmentally responsible disposal practices.
What challenges have you encountered?
Education is the biggest challenge. Many restaurant owners have managed their fryers and oil the same way for years, so adopting a new approach can take time.
Helping businesses understand that our advanced oil micro-filtration system can save money while reducing environmental impact is key to changing that mindset.
Are there other ways your services help businesses operate more sustainably? Yes. We also provide humidity control services for walk-in coolers, which improve energy efficiency and extend the life of food products. That means less food waste and less energy use from refrigeration equipment. In addition, we have a worldclass drain management service that naturally removes fats, oils, grease, sugars, starches, and other organic material that can cause blockages and foul odors.
In addition, customers receive Environmental Impact Reports that show how their participation contributes to sustainability efforts.
What’s next for OlyPure?
As a small, mobile business operating locally, our energy footprint is already relatively low. As we grow, we’re focused on finding new ways to further reduce energy use and expand our impact throughout the region. We are excited to offer comprehensive kitchen cleaning services over the next 3-6 months, helping restaurants operate more efficiently while reducing the environmental impact of their operations.

Holy Lamb Organics Olympia Bed Store
MEDIUM BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
For more than 25 years, Holy Lamb Organics has built its business around a simple idea: sustainability should be the foundation of a company—not an afterthought. Through its flagship showroom, Olympia Bed Store, the company produces handcrafted organic bedding and partners with local businesses to offer natural, sustainable bedroom products.
This year, Holy Lamb Organics / Olympia Bed Store is recognized as the Thurston Green Medium Business of the Year for its long-standing commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing and community-centered business practices.
We spoke with Vivian Duncan to learn more about how sustainability shapes every aspect of the company’s work.
What makes sustainability central to your business model?
Our biggest success is reaching our 25-year milestone as a sustainable business. From the beginning, sustainability has guided every decision we make—from sourcing materials to manufacturing processes to daily operations.
All of our bedding products are handcrafted in Washington using ethically sourced natural materials. We design them to be durable, biodegradable, and low-waste so they have a smaller environmental footprint throughout their life cycle.
How do you reduce waste in your production process?
Waste reduction is one of our greatest strengths. We operate with a zero-waste mindset, carefully designing our production process to reuse materials whenever possible.
For example, fabric remnants from larger products are reused to create smaller items like pillows. Even smaller scraps are repurposed into packaging materials, replacing plastic bubble wrap. When materials reach the end of their usable life, they are donated to schools or organizations like the Hands On Children’s Museum, ensuring they stay out of landfills.
We also recycle materials such as cardboard, plastic film, glass, and even mattresses whenever possible.
How does Holy Lamb support sustainability beyond your own operations?
Supporting the local economy is a big part of our sustainability mission. We intentionally source services and products from
Independent & Assisted Living 810 Fieldstone Drive SW,
Trusted by Businesses, Nonprofits & Government Agencies
Cinema-Grade Visuals | OMWBE-Certified | FAA-Licensed Drone Pilots
local vendors whenever possible—from marketing materials and printing to the products we carry in our showroom.
We also actively participate in community events like Arts Walk, collaborate with other small businesses, and donate regularly to local schools and nonprofit organizations.
What energy-saving practices do you use in your facilities?
Because most of our products are handmade, our energy use is naturally lower than large-scale mechanized operations. We also use sewing machines with computerized motors that only draw power when actively in use.
Our facilities rely on energy-saving practices such as timed lighting, temperature controls, and equipment shutoffs when not in use. Over the past year, we have also simplified our product line, which helped reduce energy consumption and material waste.
How do you encourage sustainable transportation and logistics?
Our team has built a strong culture around carpooling, public transit, and flexible work schedules to reduce commuting impacts.
We’ve also improved our delivery scheduling to make routes more efficient and reduce emissions. For many local orders, we now deliver directly rather than shipping through third-party carriers, which helps lower transportation emissions.
What role does water conservation play in your sustainability efforts?
One of the most important choices we make is sourcing certified organic cotton, which can use up to 91% less
water than conventionally grown cotton.
Within our facilities, water use is already minimal, and our team actively monitors usage and addresses any irregularities quickly.
What challenges has your company faced?
Operating sustainably often comes with challenges. One ongoing issue is finding recycling solutions for certain materials, such as mixed fabrics. We’ve worked to redesign our production processes so that scraps can be reused or donated instead of discarded.
In 2025, we also faced a major setback when a vehicle crashed into our production facility, damaging the building and destroying inventory. Our team rallied together with the support of the community to rebuild and restore operations while maintaining our commitment to sustainability.
What does sustainability mean to Holy Lamb moving forward?
For us, sustainability is about more than just environmental practices—it’s about building a responsible, communityfocused business that prioritizes ethical sourcing, fair labor practices, and longlasting products.
Our goal is to continue strengthening an economy rooted in ecology while helping customers create healthier, more natural homes.

Sunset Air
LARGE BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
For 50 years, Sunset Air has been helping Thurston County residents and businesses improve comfort while reducing energy use. From high-efficiency HVAC systems to solar installations, EV charging infrastructure, and whole-home electrification, the Lacey-based company has become a leader in the region’s transition to cleaner energy. This year, Sunset Air is recognized as the Thurston Green Large Business of the Year for its leadership in building electrification and renewable energy adoption across the community.
We spoke with Trenton Fluetsch about how Sunset Air is helping move Thurston County toward a more energyefficient future.
How does Sunset Air support the clean energy transition in Thurston County?
Sustainability is at the core of what we do. Our work focuses on helping homes and businesses reduce energy use and transition away from fossil fuels.
Through programs like Energize Thurston and Energize Olympia, we completed a substantial number of gas-toelectric conversions, replacing fossil fuel heating systems with high-efficiency heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. These upgrades significantly reduce household emissions while improving energy efficiency.
We are proud to be the only HVAC contractor in Thurston County selected to participate in Energize Thurston, Energize Olympia, and Solarize Thurston, demonstrating our commitment to community-based climate solutions.
What role does renewable energy play in your work?
Renewable energy is a major part of our impact. In 2025 alone, we installed solar photovoltaic systems on 87 homes, helping residents generate clean energy and reduce reliance on the grid.
We also install battery backup systems that improve household energy resilience and support grid stability. In addition, Sunset Air is a certified ChargePoint installer, helping expand EV charging infrastructure across Thurston County.

Venables Pest Management is a locally owned and operated company using pet-friendly, professional pest management solutions for ants, termites, mice, beetles, spiders, bed bugs, yellow jackets and rats. We also offer commercial and residential maintenance services and real estate inspections. Give us a call today.
What sustainability initiatives have you implemented internally?
We believe sustainability should be reflected in how we operate as a company.
In 2025, we added our first electric vehicle to our fleet and installed EV charging stations at our headquarters for employees and visitors. Our Lacey headquarters itself reflects this commitment—it was the first privately owned LEED Gold–certified building in Washington State.
We’ve also upgraded our facilities with LED lighting, high-efficiency heat pumps, and ongoing energy audits to identify opportunities for improvement.
How does Sunset Air reduce waste and environmental impacts in your industry?
As an HVAC contractor, responsible refrigerant handling is essential. We partner with certified recycling partners to recover and reclaim refrigerants instead of allowing them to enter the atmosphere.
We also recycle materials such as copper, motors, compressors, and scrap metal from equipment replacements. These practices help ensure that valuable materials are recovered and environmental impacts are minimized.
What challenges have you faced in advancing clean energy?
One of the biggest challenges is the changing financial landscape of clean energy incentives. Federal tax credits and program timelines can create uncertainty for homeowners considering investments in solar, electrification, or battery storage.
At the same time, supply chain
pressures and tariffs increased the cost of solar panels and other green technologies in 2025. Despite these challenges, we continue to work with customers to identify incentives and financing options that make clean energy upgrades possible.
How does Sunset Air support the community?
Sustainability also includes investing in people and community. Sunset Air employs approximately 150 team members, many of whom have been with the company for decades. Our average employee tenure exceeds 10 years, and more than 20 employees have served for over 20 years.
We are proud supporters of numerous local organizations, including the Hands On Children’s Museum, Habitat for Humanity, and the Thurston County Boys & Girls Club. Through volunteerism and financial support, we aim to strengthen the community we serve.
What does the future of sustainability look like for Sunset Air?
We see our role as more than a mechanical contractor—we are partners in helping Thurston County transition to cleaner, more energy-efficient homes and buildings.
As technology advances and programs expand, Sunset Air will continue investing in electrification, renewable energy, and innovative solutions that reduce emissions and improve energy resilience for our region.

Thurston County
MUNICIPALITY OF THE YEAR
With over 900 employees serving residents across the South Sound, Thurston County government plays a crucial role in protecting the region’s environment while also supporting economic growth and community well-being. Through climate planning, clean energy initiatives, waste reduction programs, and watershed protection efforts, the County continues to strengthen its leadership in sustainability. This year, Thurston County is recognized as the Thurston Green Municipality of the Year for its comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship and regional collaboration.
We spoke with Rebecca Harvey with Thurston County Community Planning and Economic Development about the County’s efforts to create a healthy and sustainable environment within its organization and throughout the entire Thurston County community.
How is Thurston County advancing sustainability across the region?
One of the biggest milestones in the past year was the adoption of Thurston 2045, the County’s updated Comprehensive Plan. The plan includes a new Climate Chapter along with updated policies around land use, transportation, environmental protection, and natural resources.
What makes Thurston 2045 unique is that it includes a detailed implementation plan that translates sustainability policies into specific actions, with responsible departments and timelines identified. This helps ensure accountability and

measurable progress toward climate and environmental goals.
How does Thurston County collaborate with local partners on climate solutions?
Sustainability is a regional effort. Thurston County works closely with the cities of Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater through the Thurston Climate Mitigation Collaborative, which coordinates climate action strategies across jurisdictions.
By aligning policies and sharing data, local governments can implement climate solutions more efficiently and amplify their collective impact across the county.
What are some of the County’s most significant energy initiatives?
The County has taken several steps to improve energy efficiency and support clean energy adoption.
Thurston County partners with local cities and South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity to lead “Energize Thurston,” a residential heat pump group purchase campaign. In 2025, Energize Thurston resulted in 226 total
installations of heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, including 176 that were fully or partially covered by grant funds for low- to moderate-income (LMI) households.
The County was awarded a $1.39 million grant, funded by the Washington Climate Commitment Act, to install a solar photovoltaic and battery storage system at the Thurston County Public Health and Social Services headquarters. Currently in the design phase, the project will help reduce operational emissions while improving energy resilience of a critical facility.
In addition, Thurston County has achieved SolSmart Silver designation, recognizing its work to make solar energy easier and more accessible for residents and businesses.
How is Thurston County improving transportation sustainability?
The County continues to expand electric vehicle infrastructure and has installed EV charging stations through partnerships with the City of Tenino and the Thurston Economic Development Council.
The County is gradually transitioning its fleet to cleaner fuels, including electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and renewable diesel made from biofuel. The County also recently updated its Commute Trip Reduction Plan and promotes transportation options to its employees.
County staff are working with regional partners to analyze policies and programs to help reduce car travel. Recently, the Public Works Department completed the Yelm–Rainier–Tenino Trail Extension, part of a broader effort to create a connected non-motorized transportation network throughout the county.
What waste reduction and recycling programs are making an impact?
The Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center (WARC), along with the County's Rainier and Rochester Drop-box sites provide free recycling services for residents and businesses, accepting materials such as mixed recyclables, glass, cardboard, and textiles. At the WARC, current efforts to reduce waste and support reuse
include a one-year bike rescue pilot, yard and food waste drop-off, and hosting popular compost giveaway events.
Beyond traditional recycling, Thurston County addresses more specialized waste streams through HazoHouse, which offers free disposal of household hazardous waste for county residents, ensuring safe handling of materials that cannot go into the standard recycling or garbage bins.
Thurston County has also created a robust network of programs and outreach initiatives designed to engage and educate the community. The Master Recycler Composter volunteer program expands public awareness, while Fix-It Fairs encourage repair and reuse over disposal. Dedicated staff focus on waste reduction and recycling across residential, youth, commercial, and government sectors, supported by tools like the “WhereDoITakeMy.org” online search database and updated recycling guides mailed to residents.
Additional efforts, including e-waste
diversion, low-waste event education, and guidance from the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, demonstrate Thurston County’s commitment to reducing waste and maximizing resource recovery.
How is Thurston County protecting water resources?
Protecting water quality and quantity is a cornerstone of the County’s sustainability work. The County’s Water and Climate Planning team tracks rainfall and groundwater levels across approximately 60 monitoring locations, helping inform decisions about flood risk, water conservation, and pollution prevention.
Through partnerships like the Regional Environmental Education Partnership (REEP) and Stream Team, residents participate in habitat restoration, stormwater education, and citizen science programs that help protect local waterways
What challenges does the County face in advancing sustainability?
In an organization as large as Thurston County, coordinating climate and
environmental initiatives across multiple agencies can be a challenge, especially when working with limited staff capacity. Implementing sustainability projects is also challenged by budget constraints and the need to secure grant funding.
Achieving the County’s climate and sustainability goals requires contributions from businesses, residents, and regional partners. Thurston County continually works to build partnerships and expand community engagement.
LOOKING AHEAD
Thurston County’s sustainability strategy is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and long-term planning. By integrating climate action into policies, infrastructure, and community programs, the County is working to ensure that future generations inherit a healthy environment and a resilient regional economy.
