  You mentioned you couldn’t find any evidence they had any LEED buildings. I recalled reading somewhere they did have LEED buildings. A quick review of their website (which is difficult to find things on) shows their Chicago HQ office is LEED certified. I know there is a process where you can get a LEED Certification but keep it off the publicly reviewable list by asking the LEED people to keep it confidential. That’s probably what they did, and why you weren’t able to find it.

  Horizon is also converting to a fleet of all Bombardier Q400 aircraft which burns 30% less fuel, generates 30% less emissions, and is 10 decibles quieter than a comparable jet in its class. The Q400 is perhaps the most green commercial aircraft in the skies.
