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.

Thanks from WattBusters
From all of us at WattBusters, we would like to thank everyone who purchased
energy-saving products in 2004.
We've learned a lot about the reasons that
people change old products for new. The motivations were not as cut and dry as we had originally thought.
The main reasons that people bought energy efficient products was to save
