🌍🌱 We're thrilled to share that our commitment to sustainability continues! Today, our team had another opportunity to plant a tree in one of our communities. We picked Hammond! Mayor John Drummond and Ron Miller were in attendance to plant the tree.

As a broadband company, we're dedicated not just to connecting people but also to nurturing our planet. Each tree planted helps improve air quality, provide habitats for wildlife, and combat climate change.

Thank you to the community of Hammond for supporting our green initiative. Together, we can make a lasting impact and create a healthier environment for future generations. 🌳💚
