"I always like to say that if someone stops for a cup of coffee on their way into the plant," Easterday said, "then they have put more trash into the landfill than we have for the entire year."

 

Actually, that coffee cup would be more than the entire plant — with 5,600 employees producing 350,000 cars annually — has put in a landfill in nearly the last 15 years.

 

That's right, Subaru's Lafayette facility has been zero landfill since 2004, making it the first auto assembly plant in the United States to reach that milestone.
