Energize Earth Day at Work
- Bike to work, car pool, use mass transit, or walk.
- Encourage your company to sign up for the Green Lights and Energy Star energy-saving programs offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Contact EPA at 888.STAR.YES (888.782.7937).
- Assemble a team of co-workers to conduct an energy audit at your workplace. Look for lights and equipment needlessly left on, drafty windows and doors you could insulate, ineffici ent thermostat settings, and other energy-wasters. Make recommendations for improvements that will save energy and money.
- Put up an Earth Day bulletin board during April that offers employees new energy-saving tips each week.
- Link your company's Web page to those that offer energy-saving and environment friendly tips. Here are just a few: Earth Share at www.earthshare.org; the official Earth Day site at www.earthday.net; EPA's Green Lights and Energy Star Web pages at www.epa.gov/region7/p2/volprog/grnlight.htm and www.energystar.gov; and the energy efficiency and renewable energy network page of the U.S. Department of Energy at www.eere.energy.gov.

EARTH SAVING NEWS
Where I work we keep the green thing going all year, I feel pretty good I work in an office that actually cares about these things. As a race Humans don't take the things we do and the things we consume seriously. Most people realise recycling and keeping green is something you should at home, but many people forget this is something to do at work, especially when companies produce much more waste than a household
