Has global warming changed your work situation?

THAT'S BECAUSE THE EPA IS A SHAM ORGANIZATION WHOSE ONLY PURPOSE IS AS A LAUNDERING FIRM FOR CONGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Our office building raised the price of parking to encourage people to use public transportation, for the planet. Sometimes I hate mother earth so much. =(

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Shin, I'm not so sure. Say you're renting office space from a building. Your lease terms include a utility charge that's rated based on a ratio between square footage rented by you to the total. Say you only generate 15% of the total electricity bill each month. Even if this costs you something like 10k, let's assume you then cut your usage by 10%. So whereas you had .15x = 10k charge, you've now got .15x-.15(.1)x = .1485x. Your total savings is trivial.

Take into the cost of implementing a cultural transformation in your employees in order to achieve that reduction in usage. Even if it's sending out an email every month, the time lost in either developing an automatic process, or otherwise conveying the message with sufficient impact to effect any change would be offset by negligible gains.

Either way you're talking about such small amounts of money, the entire exercise becomes trivial.

I'll go with you on paper, insofar as I think it's easier to move the needle on office supplies, so you'd see a greater return, especially if you do a lot of copying, etc.

I still think ultimately though that going green doesn't save enough to be worth the effort and cost of enforcing a policy.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
