Creating a Green Office Environment

By Amy Nutt

When making our lifestyle more environmentally friendly, a lot of attention is given to homes. Because people spend much of their time at work, greening an office is often just as important. Taking the time to save energy and use less resources at work will go a long way to protecting the environment.

Computer Energy Efficiency: Computers are a main fixture in every business and corporation. Business computers can waste more than one billion dollars worth of electricity a year. Cut down on energy use by turning off the computer at the end of business day. Throughout the work day, set your computer on sleep during short breaks and while you are at lunch. Employers should purchase energy-saving computers, monitors, and printers. Donate old computers to charity organizations. This will reduce the number of computers entering a landfill.

This would leave us adrift in our ability to supply our country with the electricity it has come to depend upon. This notion fell by the wayside as fossil fuels still seemed to be sufficient and prices dropped to make them affordable.

However, in recent years, our country’s attention has once again returned to the non-renewable resource problem. The end to their availability is a little bit nearer, but world turmoil has driven the price up and environmental concerns have replaced the shortage dilemma. Burning fossil fuels the way we have over the last several decades has had a serious impact on the health and well being of our planet. Read the rest of this entry »

Letter from the Editor: Things to be thankful for this Holiday Season!!!


I was thinking about gratitude the other day ( I often ponder random philosophical thoughts at Green Green Car Co!) and I realized that I have not been very good at it. In fact, environmentalists, greenies, whatever you want to call us, tend to focus on the negative. It is the nature of our cause. With global warming, pollution, and dependency on foreign oil on your mind, it can be a downright downer at times! So for my New Years Resolution , I have decided to start focusing on the positive. I hope you will too. A wise person told me to make regular lists of what I am grateful for so here is my rather random much abbreviated list: Read the rest of this entry »
