The Greening of the American Office
Environmental Responsibility Doesn’t Stop at Home
(ARA) – April 22nd marks the 35th anniversary of Earth Day -- and the good news is that more and more Americans are thinking of creative ways to recycle, reuse and be more environmentally conscious. But once you leave the confinements of “home sweet home,” what can you do from 9 to 5 to continue your “green” way of life?
Just like your house, most offices consume water, energy, paper and other products -- the result of which produces a deluge of waste. But the office furniture industry is a prime example of a market segment that is quietly, but effectively, converting its product designs and manufacturing technologies to have a more positive environmental impact -- partially in response to government programs, but also because consumers are demanding products that are gentler on the environment. The industry, in fact, is responding to the green phenomena in some amazing, highly creative ways.
Car Wars - Hummer vs. Hoopty
What kind of vehicle do you drive? Why did you choose that particular vehicle? Answering those two simple questions may open a window into the inner workings of your mind. I was pondering my answers to the questions while stuck in the morning rush hour traffic around Detroit. As I sat, looking straight into the bumper of a 2003 Hummer, I knew Mad Max would have been proud of me.
My 1993 Tercel (i.e. Hoopty: beat up old car with a dull paint job and no hubcaps) braves the rush hour traffic and does an admirable job. It's kind of ugly and extremely small but it doesn't cost much at all to own.
Winter Static - Humidity in Your Home
I don't need a groundhog to tell me that it's still winter. I keep waking up to new blankets of snow and my natural gas bills look like they are for two months instead of one. What's with that? I caulked, sealed the cracks underneath my doors and generally try to keep my thermostat down.
One thing I hadn't given much thought to this season is the lack of humidity in my house. The first giveaway that something wasn't quite right is major static-electricity.
