The photo shows 4 of LASAN's staff standing in front of LASAN's organics ad on a City bus shelter. They're forming a heart together around the organics pail on the sign with their arms.
What makes LASAN an amazing place to work? We ❤️ our jobs & we're passionate about what we do! Our organics team noticed our ad and snapped this fun photo on their lunch walk.
