Creating sustainable workplaces is good for people and the environment. From choosing “healthy” materials to reducing waste in our buildings, we’re not only working to provide healthy spaces for Googlers, but also to leave the spaces between the buildings better than we found them.

This is the story of Jacqueline. After losing her son, Adam, to a heroin overdose, Jacqueline dedicated herself to helping other families struggling with substance use by volunteering as a Parent Coach with Partnership for Drug-Free Kids.
Nearly half of Americans have a friend or family member who has been addicted to drugs. Many of us keep all kinds of unneeded medications in our unlocked medicine cabinets. But these highly addictive medications are at high risk of being misused by friends and family members. Safely disposing of unneeded medications is a simple, concrete step that everyone can take to keep friends and loved ones safe. That’s why twice a year, in April and October, Google partners with the DEA to promote National Prescription Drug Take Back Day and make it easier for everyone to find a convenient drug collection site near them.
#TakeBackDay is Saturday, April 27th, from 10AM-2PM. We urge you to make a plan to take back your unused medications. Find a nearby drop off site at https://g.co/rxtakeback.
If your loved one is struggling with substances, contact the Partnership’s Helpline to get the support you need: Call 1-855-DRUGFREE or text 55753 to be connected to a parent specialist. Or visit https://drugfree.org/helpline.
Thank you to: Jacqueline P, Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, and the Drug Enforcement Administration
For the 1 in 8 women in America who struggle with fertility issues, Mother’s Day can seem like the loneliest day of the year.
We hope this small message on National Infertility Awareness Week can help bring a little more awareness to what so many families are feeling right now. To help friends and family better support and understand what those couples might be going through. And to help those struggling through it to find each other.

Chris’ grandparents opened Borgatti’s in 1935. As customers started retiring and moving out of their Bronx neighborhood, they asked Chris and his wife Joan when they would start shipping. So Joan learned to put up a website, and now they ship their handmade pasta all over the country.
