In the early fall of 2010, DrupalConnect began working on Waste Management Inc.'s high-profile, high-traffic collection of recycling and green-living sites, collectively under greenopolis.com, as part of a long-term reorganization and revitalization effort.
ThinkGreenRewards.com
Drupal Connect recently redesigned Waste Management's new, flagship community recycling program, Think Green Rewards. ThinkGreenRewards.wm.com has a beautiful, modern design with an intuitive UI that makes for a pleasant UX across the site's broad demographics. DrupalConnect employed all of the latest theming techniques with jQuery, image sprites, and css3 on top of a 960 grid with a stylish font via cufon for an elegant and bold Web presence.
