Work Green
We all spend a lot of time focused on making our homes green, and keeping our families safe. Often, though, we do not consider the impact the rest of our time spent can have on the environment. Consider this: The average American spends aproximately 8.6 hours a day at work. That's more time than we spend on all of our other activites combined! With all this time at the office, it's important to take some time to make sure your office is as environmentally responsible as possible.
Environmental responsibility at the corporate level has become important over the last few years as the economy has changed and environmental issues have become a priority. Has your company taken a moment to evaluate what their carbon footprint is on the world? The website from Renewable Choice Energy has a great Environmental Impact Calculator, that gives you a good estimate of the footprint your company is creating.

Today, April 27th, 2012 is Arbor Day. This day was set aside in 1872 by a man named J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska. An avid naturist and journalist, Morton spent his time writing about agraculture and the importance of trees. Living on the plains, he educated fellow farmers about planting trees as windbreaks to preserve farmland, for fuel and building materials, and for shade from the hot prairie sun. Not only did he advocate in his articles, but he encouraged others to help him in his endeavors, and became Secratary of the territory. He then proposed an Arbor Day in Nebraska, a day where towns would win prizes based on how many trees were properly planted. It was set for April 10, 1872, and an estimated million trees were planted that year.
There’s a lot of laundry detergent on the market these days. What deciding factors help you choose the one you use? Is it the smell? The attractive packaging? Or the claim that it is safe for you and the environment? These are all great reasons, but sometimes it’s good to take a second look at what’s in your detergent, and how it can affect you.
