August 8, 2009 at 11:35 pmOffices should certainly use recycled paper as standard for those people who still want to print emails, and I agree with the comments above – computers really should be turned off at night, it’s a massive waste of electricity leaving them on.

April 10, 2009 at 12:08 pmI am not sure that I can stop printing certain emails, but I definitely encourage the people in my office to turn their computers and monitors off at night. That is a huge waste of energy.

April 9, 2009 at 3:14 pmCutting back on meat is one of the simplest things we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. Its also great for your health. Did you know that meat consumption has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer? These illnesses are four of the largest killers in the United States and they’re all preventable.
You don’t even have to become a full vegetarian to help the planet and your health; even a small change in what you eat makes a huge impact. If every American skipped just one chicken meal a week, for example, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than a half-million cars off U.S. roads.
I work on a non-profit health campaign called Meatless Monday, which encourages Americans to forgo meat once a week to improve their health and reduce their carbon footprint. Skipping meat one day a week reduces your saturated fat intake by 15%, which is a easy way to decrease your risk of illness. Having a Meatless Monday is a simple step that anyone can take. For tips, recipes, and more information about the campaign you can visit our website, http://www.MeatlessMonday.com
